A 50-year old man was stabbed using a 12-inch kitchen knife past 10:00 a.m., Thursday morning in Barangay Pajo, Lapu-Lapu City.
The victim, identified as Jose Mongas Jr., 50, a resident of Sitio Camansi of the said barangay, sustained 10 stab wounds.
The Lapu-Lapu City Police homicide section identified the suspect as Reynaldo Barangan, 39, who is also a resident of the same place.
Barangan told Cebu Daily News that he was upset with Mongas, who had bullied the suspect and called him a ‘witch.’
Pajo’s village chief Junard Chan immediately called an ambulance and assisted the victim, who was later rushed to Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center (VSMMC).
The suspect is now temporarily detained at Hoops Dome police precinct.
