Noserales said that Reny Boy became very angry after Christian started to talk back and become rude, something that he would allegedly do every time that his father would scold him.

The hacking incident happened on Saturday afternoon in the Basalo residence in Brgy. Cogon, Naga City.

“Sukad pa jud na sa una ilahang away, away amahan ug anak. As [per] version ni suspect na tatay, magtubag-tubag ug di gyud daw na maminaw niya iyahang anak,” Noserale said.

Noserale said that Reny Boy, a construction worker, was reportedly drunk when the hacking incident happened.

Rene Boy is currently detained at the detention facility of the Naga City Police while a parricide charge is being prepared for filing against him.
