ARMY help locals in trying to catch killer of late BTS fan Bonna Hercia Ambay

Filo fan Bonna Hercia Ambay celebrated her 23rd and last birthday with a BTS-themed party that has fans heartbroken

K-pop fans prove time and again that they use their power for good; from hijacking the racist hashtags during the Black Lives Movement in 2020 on social media to helping Bangladeshi fans who were harassed solely for liking BTS. And now ARMY are helping the locals in the Philippines who are on a manhunt for a killer who murdered Bonna Hercia Ambay on June 6 in Kalibo.

The 23-year-old girl was stabbed multiple times at her workplace, a pawnshop, which was covered in blood. The scene also had slippers, handcuffs and a bloodied knife that is suspected to be belonging to the killer. There was also a security guard’s uniform with the name tag ‘Torriefiel Mar’. This has made security guard Mark Archie Torrefiel the prime suspect. The police also found his revolver hidden under a tree near his house while he fled with his live-in partner. And fans found out that Bonna was a BTS fan who unfortunately celebrated her 23rd and last birthday with a BTS-themed party.
