ORMOC CITY-Local police suspect a personal grudge as the motive behind the fatal stabbing of a farmer by another farmer on November 9, in Barangay Bugas, Borongan City.
The victim, identified as “Sam,” a married and a resident of Brgy. Bugas, was allegedly attacked by “Boy,” a single resident of the same barangay.
According to the initial police investigation, the suspect arrived at the victim’s house and, without provocation, stabbed him twice in the abdomen with a sharp-bladed weapon locally known as a “sundang,” resulting in the victim’s immediate death.
The victim’s family informed police that a personal grudge may have driven the suspect to commit the crime.
Following the attack, the suspect fled with the weapon. The victim’s body was brought to St. Peter Funeral Services in Barangay Sabang South, Borongan City.
Borongan City Police Station is conducting a hot pursuit operation to apprehend the suspect, and a murder charge has already been filed with the Prosecutor’s Office.
