Michael Dequito Monegro, 43, of the Philippines, stabbed his supervisor 17 times in the face and body using a pair of knives and then surrendered to the ship’s captain when it was apparent that the victim was dead, according to a federal affidavit.
The crime occurred Sept. 20, 2020, after a two-week voyage from Shanghai to Los Angeles. Monegro pleaded guilty Monday in LA.
“An emergency aboard a large vessel typically strains the mental capacity of the Captain, officers, and crewmembers,” the affidavit reads. “An onboard emergency causes mental fatigue and is a source of stress and distraction for all involved. Such stresses are exacerbated when officers and crewmembers fear that the Captain may lose control of the vessel.”Several crew members recounted seeing Monegro confront Manolito Santillan, saying, “You are the one who destroyed my family.
Crew members threw trash cans at Monegro to stop the attack but were unsuccessful. They heard Santillan say, “What is happening, Michael? I hope the Lord forgives you. I’m dead, Michael.”
