Claudio Teehankee Jr., who is the son of the late former Chief Justice Claudio Teehankee Sr. and the brother of Justice Undersecretary Manuel Teehankee, was convicted in 1995 by the Supreme Court for the murder of Filipino-Swedish Maureen Hultman and Roland John Chap­man due to a traffic spat in Dasmariñas Village, Makati. He's serving a life sentence for the murder. His trial claimed public attention because of his relationship to the former Chief Justice. Court records show that Chapman, Hultman and another friend, Jussi Leino, were coming home from a party on the night of July 12, 1991. Leino was walking Hultman home when Teehankee came up behind them in his car. He stopped the two and demanded that they show some identification. Leino took out his wallet and showed Teehankee his Asian Development Bank ID. Teehankee grabbed the wallet.Hultman, who was waiting in a car for Leino, stepped in and asked Teehankee: “Why are you bothering us?” Teehankee drew out his gun and shot Chapman, killing him instantly. After a few minutes, Teehankee shot Leino, hitting him in the jaw. Then he shot Hultman before driving away. Leino survived and Hultman died two months later in hospital. Teehankee was arrested several days later. [1]
