According to police reports, the 39-year-old construction worker-dad of Charice was having a drinking session with his friends at around 9 p.m. when the suspect, identified as Angel Capili, Jr., approached Pempengco and stabbed him to death using a twelve-inch ice pick then immediately left the area.

Charice’s mother, Raquel Pempengco, appealed for understanding from Charice’s fans in Singapore after the Pinay international singing sensation cancelled her upcoming performance in a concert with David Foster.

“Sana maunawaan nila na ‘yung nangyayari ngayon kay Charice kung bakit hindi siya makakasama sa Singapore show. Kailangan niya muna makasama ang pamilya niya,” she said in an interview by ABS-CBNNews.com.

Charice earlier apologized to her fans in Singapore who are looking forward to see her perform in the David Foster and Friends Concert Tour.

“I am very sorry to all my fans from Singapore. I am not going to be there to be part of David Foster and Friends concert. I have to go back to the Philippines as soon as possible to be with my family. I hope you all understand. I love you all and I will see you next year,” Charice said.

Charice expressed her feelings over her dad’s death on Twitter.

“I loved him and I will still love him. He’s still my Dad after all.”

Meanwhile, Charice‘s aunt and Ricky’s sister Russell Mahira, via an interview with ABS-CBN this morning, expressed her grievances towards Charice and her mom for leaving his brother many years ago due to domestic violence accusations.

“Masaya na siguro kayo, patay na ang kapatid ko?,” she said.

She claims her brother suffered depression and mental illness after his wife, Raquel, and two children, Charice and Carl, left him years ago.

Charice answered back on Aunt’s tirades via Twitter:

“Gusto ko lang malaman nyo, na we had a really great relationship bago nangyari lahat ng gulo.

“Para sa mga kapatid ng daddy ko, wala kayong karapatang sabihin o hulaan ang nararamdaman ko. Sino kayo para sabihing masaya ako sa pagkawala ng SARILI KONG AMA? Kapatid lang kayo at ako ay ANAK,

“Kung natatandaan nyo, KAYO MISMO ANG NAGSABI SA AMIN NA IWASAN ANG DADDY KO. Sinabi nyo pa na wag gamitin ang apelyido nya. Hindi pinagbawal ni mommy na dalawin ang daddy namin pero HINDI NYO KAMI PINAYAGAN. Wala kayong respeto sa PAMILYA NYA para sabihin nyo yan ngayon! Imbis na ayusin nyo, sinisira nyo pa!,

“Alam ko na nagalit ako sa kanya! Pero hindi ko sinabing itinatakwil ko sya! matagal akong naging tahimik sa mga eskandalong ginagawa nyo. Pero ngayon, di ko na kaya pati sa pagkamatay nya GANYAN PARIN KAYO. Hindi ako takot. Lalo na sa mga taong walang respeto,”
