PANGANIBAN, J.
There is treachery when one commits any of the crimes against persons by employing means, methods or forms in the execution thereof without risk to oneself arising from the defense that the offended party might make.[81] In order to qualify an act as treacherous, the circumstances invoked must be proven as indubitably as the killing itself; they cannot be deduced from mere inferences, or conjectures, which have no place in the appreciation of evidence.[82] Because of the gravity of the resulting offense, treachery must be proved as conclusively as the killing itself.[83]

The Solicitor General recommended that the death indemnity imposed on accused-appellant be increased from fifty thousand (P50,000.00) pesos to seventy-five thousand (P75,000.00) pesos, citing People v. Victor.[26] In the case cited, however, the Court increased the indemnity for the victim in cases where rape was qualified by any of the circumstances under which the death penalty was authorized.[27] However, the case at bar is one for murder, where the indemnity for death of the victim is set at P50,000.00 in accordance with current jurisprudence.[28] Thus, the trial court properly awarded the amount of fifty thousand (P50,000.00) pesos as death indemnity, which may be awarded without need of proof other than the commission of the crime.
