BACOLOD City – Old grudge was the motive in a fatal hacking in Barangay Sicaba, Cadiz City, Negros Occidental, police said.
The 41-year-old Ricky Jude Britania sustained multiple hack wounds on the body.
He was rushed to the Cadiz District Hospital where the attending physician pronounced him “dead on arrival.”
Ricky Jude’s uncle Ruperto Britania, 65, and cousin Rodel Britania, 37, were tagged suspects.
The incident happened around 8:30 p.m. on Sept 17, a police report showed.
The Britanias initially figured in an altercation triggered by previous grudges on throwing stones at their houses.
Ruperto bore hack wounds on the left arm and was also admitted to the same hospital.
Operatives of the Cadiz City police station conducted a man hunt operation against Rodel, who fled after the hacking./PN
