Death

Revilla was murdered in his family residence at BF Homes in Parañaque City on October 28, 2011 with his younger sister Ramona and former girlfriend Janelle Manahan (Manahan) present in the crime scene. He sustained 11 stab wounds on his body and a gunshot to the left side of his chest.[3] Manahan suffered two gunshots on her face and shoulder,[4] and Ramona was left uninjured because Revilla saved them from further attacks by fighting and locking the door. Citing a police report, Sen. Revilla, brother of the victim, said the gunman shot Ram Revilla with a .45 caliber gun and then stabbed him.[5]
