SAN JOSE, Antique – A 16-year-old student in Anini-y, Antique hammered his mother to death and injured his father.
“Basi na-pressure ang bata sa iya modules, sa iya studies. Amo to guro nga daw naglain sya,” said Police Corporal Randolf Gomez of the Anini-y police station.
The 52-year-old Mildred Datuin of Barangay Magdalena, Anini-y died at the Angel Salazar Memorial General Hospital for severe wounds on her head.
Her husband Rolly, 49, was taken to the same hospital for treatment.
The “hammering” took place on Sunday at the Datuin house around 10:30 p.m., according to Gomez.
The couple’s son just went wild, he said, and attacked his mother first.
The mother and son were alone in the house that time.
When Rolly came home, his son also attacked him with a hammer, said Gomez.
From what the Anini-y police so far gathered, his parents constantly badgered the teenager to study his school learning modules.
“Amo to guro nga daw naglain sia. He has no negative record in their barangay and even in our police station,” said Gomez.
After attacking his parents, the teenager fled but was eventually captured by policemen. He was turned over to the Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office.
Gomez said the couple’s son may need psychiatric intervention because “daw medyo indi na maayo ang actuation.”
Those who knew the teenager described him as “hipuson kuno kag wala gawa ga gwa,” Gomez added./PN
