Filipino in Malaysia allegedly kills son, injures wife over request for money<\/a> \n<\/strong><\/p>\n\nThe two were seated on the front row, facing the national shrine’s altar, while they heard the\u00a04:30 a.m.<\/span>\u00a0Mass.<\/p>\n\nThe girl sustained stab wounds on her chest and arms, police said.<\/p>\n\n
Churchgoers came to the girl’s rescue and stopped Abao from further inflicting harm on the child.<\/p>\n\n
Church volunteers brought the girl to the Mandaue City District Hospital some 300 meters away from the national shrine for treatment.<\/p>\n\n
She was later transferred to the Don Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center (DVSMMC) in Cebu City.<\/p>\n\n
PO1 Juliet Trogo of the Women’s Desk of Police Station 1, said the church security guard took custody of Abao while they called for police assistance.<\/p>\n\n
Abao was later turned over to the DVSMMC psychiatric ward while police locate her common-law-husband who works as a baker in the nearby Barangay Centro.<\/p>\n\n
Abao, a native of Bohol, lives in Barangay Cambaro located about a kilometer away from the national shrine with her common-law husband, the girl’s stepfather.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
