After running into the Whatsitsname one evening, and finding his deformed face horrifying, these drunk beggars decide to kill him,. Two of the beggars kill each other by mistake and the Whatsitsname, convinced that these men are criminals, kills the remaining two. He then places the four beggars’ hands around each other’s necks, thus suggesting that they each played a role in orchestrating their own death. This is the first of the Whatsitsname’s murders and brings an eerie atmosphere to the neighborhood of Bataween.
