ZAMBOANGA CITY — A father and son are still in critical condition after they hacked each other on Monday night in Barangay Latuan, some 52.8 km from here.<\/p>\n
Police Major Helen Galvez, regional police spokesperson, said Jelvie Bello Manalo, 19, a farmer and his stepfather, Angel Bucoy Bernardo, 41, were both rushed to a nearby Cristino Paragas Hospital and later moved to Zamboanga City Medical Center due to the serious wounds they incurred.<\/p>\n
Galvez said Bernardo, who was intoxicated, had stormed the house of the Manalo brothers at Sitio Candiis of Barangay Latuan at past 9 p.m. on Monday and hacked Jelvie on his neck and head.<\/p>\n
But Jelvie\u2019s elder brother Gerdie, who saw the attack, tried to disarm his stepfather but after disarming, also hacked his stepfather several times.<\/p>\n
Gerdie had surrendered to the police after the incident and turned over the bolo used by his stepfather.<\/p>\n
Investigators later found the Manalo brothers strongly opposed to the marriage of their mother to Bernardo and that both brothers were reportedly \u201cbadmouthing\u201d him.<\/p>\n
Gerdie and Bernardo are facing attempted homicide case.\u00a0 \/lzb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
