BACOLOD City – Police are eyeing misunderstanding as the possible motive behind the stabbing incident involving a minor and an adult man at Barangay Old Sagay, Sagay City, Negros Occidental last Wednesday.

Wounded was Ricky Alvarado, 30, of the said village, while police withheld the name of the 16-year-old suspect.

Lieutenant Abundio Diaz, deputy police chief of Sagay City Police Station, said the suspect allegedly attacked the victim at his house around 5 a.m.

Alvarado suffered multiple stab wounds and is still confined at a hospital in the city, where he underwent a surgery.

Police recovered a kitchen knife from the scene.

Diaz said that he could not go into the specific details of the incident because a minor was involved.

Diaz said the minor was already turned over to his parents and a case will be filed against him.
