Inmate dead after stabbing two guards at New Bilibid Prison

An inmate at the New Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa City was shot dead Thursday afternoon after stabbing two jail guards as he was being escorted to a disciplinary cell.

Inmate Lauro Lumapa was being transferred from the male dormitory for causing trouble in his detention cell when he stabbed two prison guards. He was then shot by another jail guard.

The two prison guards were injured but are in stable condition, radio DZMM reports.

According to the Bureau of Corrections manual on Escort Procedures and Transporting High Risk Prisoners, “using firearms and other means of deadly force is justified only under conditions of extreme necessity and as a last resort.”
