A father had allegedly hacked his own son at Barangay Bato’s Sitio Linao in Negros Occidental’s Hinigaran town on Friday night, December 2.

Police identified the victim as 49-year-old Randy Gicana, a resident of the said place.

According to the municipal police station, the younger Gicana and his father, 80-year-old Esteban Gicana, had a heated argument inside their house.

The elder Gicana then drew a bladed weapon and allegedly hacked his son on the head and right arm.

The victim was later rushed to a clinic for treatment, while the elder Gicana fled the crime scene./DGB, WDJ
