A husband hacked his wife inside their home in Barangay Crossing Magallon, Moises Padilla, Negros Occidental, Tuesday afternoon.
Police said the suspect, Rogelio Buenafe, struck his wife, Regina Buenafe, in the head, who managed to run and seek assistance.
When police arrived, they negotiated with the suspect, who was armed with two cane knives.
The suspect’s cousin, Rafael Racal, attempted to pacify Buenafe, but the suspect stabbed him on the right arm.
After an hour of negotiation, Buenafe stabbed himself in the stomach several times.
Immediate family claimed the suspect suffered nervous breakdown.
The suspect was rushed for medical treatment but died at the hospital./NC, WDJ
