Daughter of Victim Former Actor John Wayne Sace Shot Dead Speaks Out
CRISTEL REGINA EUGENIO – The eldest daughter of Lynell Eugenio expressed her deep anger and grief following the killing of her father by former actor John Wayne Sace. Lynell, 40, was shot and killed by John Wayne, 35, in an incident that occurred on the evening of October 28, 2024, in Barangay Sagad, Pasig City.
In an exclusive interview with PEP.ph, Cristel, 20, stated, “Sana mabulok na siya sa bilangguan at wala nang labasan para hindi na po siya makaperhuwisyo sa ibang mga tao,” emphasizing her belief that John Wayne would kill again if freed. She described her father’s helplessness during the attack, revealing that John Wayne shot him in the back. Cristel recalled that John Wayne appeared drunk and high during the incident, stating, “Pulang-pula po ang mata ng suspect nang magkita sila ni Papa.”
She shared the traumatic moment she learned of her father’s death while on duty with the Fire and Rescue Department, revealing, “Tulirong-tuliro po ako. Hindi ko po alam ang gagawin ko, so ang ginawa ko, sumakay ako ng motorsiklo para puntahan ang tatay ko.” Upon arriving at the crime scene, she discovered her father lying face down in the alley, lifeless.
Cristel highlighted that many witnesses saw the shooting but could not intervene due to John Wayne being armed. She vehemently contradicted John Wayne’s claims that her father was plotting against him, insisting that their bond was strong, as her father and John Wayne grew up together in the same neighborhood. “Halos makalimutan kami ni Papa para lang sabayan siya sa lahat,” Cristel said.
She conveyed a strong message to John Wayne, asserting, “Isa lang ang masasabi ko sa kanya, mabulok na siya sa kulungan! Pagsisihan niya lahat!” Cristel is determined to seek justice for her father, expressing her helplessness as a medic who could not save him and the profound impact of the tragedy on her and her family.
