BACOLOD City – Police are looking into grudges stemming from a love triangle as the motive behind the death of a tricycle driver in Barangay Caradio-an, Himamaylan City, Negros Occidental last Monday.
The victim was identified as Raffy Rosa of Barangay San Antonio.
Police Captain Arturo Margallo, deputy chief of administration of Himamaylan City Police Station, said that Rosa saw his former live-in partner walking with 39-year-old suspect Rico Patiño.
Margallo said that Rosa probably got jealous and allegedly hit Patiño, but both of them were immediately pacified.
He added that Patiño is the new lover of Rosa’s former live-in partner.
“Pagkakita niya (Rosa) sa ila, siguro may namu-o nga selos,” he added.
But later that day, the two figured in another commotion when Patiño’s group reportedly waylaid Rosa and allegedly mauled him.
Patiño then allegedly stabbed Rosa in the chest and back, and fled, along with two other companions.
Rosa was declared dead in a hospital, while Patiño surrendered to the police later that day, according to Margallo.
Margallo said that Patiño’s two companions are at large, but the three of them will be charged with murder or homicide.
