ERICTA, J.:

For the killing of Crispin Ching on November 19, 1971 at Paoay, Ilocos Norte, Benito S. Tabije, Marcos M. Madis and Paulino P. Bagarino, were accused of Murder, allegedly attended by the circumstances of treachery, premeditation and abuse of superior strength.

On motion of the fiscal, the court dismissed the information with respect to Paulino Bagarino [1] and Marcos M. Madis. [2] Only Benito Tabije was tried. From the decision convicting Benito S. Tabije of Murder and sentencing him, among others, to life imprisonment, he now appeals to this Court.
