A 46-year-old man was killed in a stabbing incident allegedly involving his wife and her purported lover in Hinoba-an, Negros Occidental, on Tuesday, June 30.
Police identified the victim as alias “Ed,” a resident of Sitio Batilo, Brgy. Po-ok.
The suspects were identified as alias “Ge,” 56, of Brgy. Talacagay, and alias “Jima,” 52, the victim’s wife.
Police said a concerned citizen reported the discovery of the victim’s body at around 7:30 a.m.
The victim was found with multiple stab wounds.
Based on statements obtained from the victim’s minor children, the couple allegedly had a heated argument at around midnight over marital issues involving a third party.
