George Anikow lies fighting for his life. Also on the photo is the security guard who was unable to stop the fight, but was quick enough to radio for help and a road block set up.
Alfonso Abastillas was the main assailant with the knife who stabbed Anikow in the back and neck.
US Marine Major George Anikow of #9, Soler Street, Bel-Air Village was killed 4:20 a.m. Saturday at the Bel-Air guard house.
As a sports utility vehicle tried to gain entry into the Bel-Air village, the guard on duty asked the men on board to present their ID which they refused.
The suspects ran after Anikow and proceeded to maul and stab him in front of the security guard. The group then threatened the guard not to report the incident.
The suspects then fled the scene and headed along Rockwell Drive toward Palm Village, where one of the suspects owns a house.
In the Philippines, crime suspects or persons of interest are allowed to cover their faces from the public.

The suspects were quick to deactivate their Facebook and Twitter accounts when the early morning news and CCTV footage of their Bel-Air stabbing spree was finally leaked on Youtube.
The suspects have since lawyered up and are reportedly from rich Philippine families.
