SANTA ANA – Two men are accused of murder in a stabbing death after a dispute, are scheduled to go on trial today.

Julian Santiago Sermano, 56, and Mauricio Molina, 33, are accused of murder in the death of Blas Bonilla, 39, also known as Blas Gutierrez, in a San Juan Capistrano park after an argument over who was the better singer, according to the District Attorney's Office.

Bonilla was found in Historic Town Center Park on June 6, 2007, with several stab wounds, and taken to a nearby hospital, where he died.

Molina was found in the park with one stab wound, and a knife was found at the scene. He was arrested two days later; Sermano was arrested after further investigation.

Molina faces one count of murder with an additional penalty for use of a deadly weapon. Sermano is charged with murder and assault with a deadly weapon, and faces three other penalties if convicted.
