BACOLOD CITY — A misunderstanding led a 32-year-old man to allegedly stab and injure his 63-year-old uncle, an incumbent village chief in Barangay Canlandog, Murcia, Negros Occidental, on Friday.
Police Capt. Honey Labaro, chief of the Murcia Municipal Police Station, said the victim was inside his bedroom when the suspect reportedly stormed the barangay official’s house, allegedly armed with a bladed weapon.
Upon seeing the victim standing behind the door, the suspect allegedly stabbed his uncle through an opening in the damaged door, hitting the right side of the victim’s abdomen.
The suspect fled and hid inside a nipa hut behind his house.
He was later arrested by police.
The victim was rushed to a private hospital in Bacolod City, where he is recuperating.
Labaro declined to reveal the cause of the misunderstanding, pending further investigation.
He said appropriate charges are now being prepared against the suspect.
