Kinatay Movie Plot
In the film, Coco Martin plays the role of Peping – a newly-wed criminology student who is eager to earn side profits for his family.
When offered a high-paying job by his friend Abyong (Jhong Hilario), Peping agrees and goes on to collect payments from a drug ring.
But things took a darker turn when the gang went from scaring small-time hoods to kidnapping and torturing a streetwalker named Madonna (Maria Isabel Lopez), who owed one of the gang leaders a sizable amount of money.
The men transported Madonna to an isolated house where they raped and dismembered her, while Peping watched in horror. After the nightmarish operation of the gang, the men tossed out Madonna’s body parts while on their way to a local eatery. Peping, who was still in shock at what transpired, received money for his baby’s milk and headed home to his family.
