ILOILO City â A 24-year-old farmer is now the subject of a police manhunt after shooting to death his father in Barangay Alibunan, Calinog, Iloilo.
Nonito Castor Jr. fled on Sunday night, bringing with him the gun used to shoot his 60-year-old father and namesake.
The shooting happened around 7:10 p.m. Prior to it, Nonito Sr. and his wife were arguing over money, said Senior Inspector Jeremias Pamplona, Calinog police chief.
Nonito Sr. was apparently drunk and armed with a 10-inch knife, Pamplona said.
âThe wife fled from their house and sought the help of her son,â said the police chief.
Nonito Jr. confronted his father and a heated argument ensued.
From what the police so far gathered, the son shot the father in self-defense.
Nonito Sr. tried to stab his son, according to Pamplona.
The father sustained a gunshot wound in the abdomen. He died while being rushed by other family members to the Dr. Ricardo S. Provido Sr. Memorial Hospital also in Calinog.
âWe are negotiating for the suspectâs surrender. His family is not interested to file a complaint against him,â said Pamplona./PN
