ILOILO – A 65-year-old resident of Barangay Danao, Janiuay town is facing a homicide charge for hacking his older brother.
Apolinario Aribas and the 67-year-old Eleodoro Aribas argued before the former attacked the latter with a cane knife, police said.
Eleodoro died of hack wounds on the neck, shoulder and knees. He was taken to the Janiuay District Hospital but was declared “dead on arrival.”
According to Police Officer 3 Jessie Caro of the Janiuay police station, Eleodoro managed to hack Apolinario, too.
Apolinario had wounds on the head and chest. He remains confined in the same hospital as of press time.
Eleodoro’s wife will file a homicide charge against Apolinario, Caro said.
The brothers were having a drinking spree in the house of Eleodoro around 5 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 29 when Apolinario told the former’s 12-year-old daughter not to eat yet, Caro told Panay News.
“Nagsabat ang victim (Eleodoro) nga pabay-an lang ang iya bata, kag ginsugo niya ang suspect (Apolinario) nga maglakat na lang para wala gamo,” said Caro.
Apolinario got irked. “Nagtapungolay pa sila nga duha, nagdumugay,” the police officer said.
