Habal-habal driver stabs friend after fight with wife

A habal-habal driver who has just engaged in a fight with his wife stabbed a friend for unknown reasons inside an abandoned vehicle in Villa Bulsita, barangay Bulacao Monday evening.

The suspect, Tata Aniana, eluded arrest while the victim, Angelito Sabejon, landed at the Cebu City Medical Center following the incident.

In his investigation, SPO3 Zenaido Pastorfide of the Homicide Section said Sabejon, a 36-year-old traysikad driver, was talking to his friends inside the vehicle when the suspect arrived.

Pastorfide said Aniana then told his friends about the fight he had with his wife. But without provocation, the police officer said, the suspect suddenly pulled out a knife and stabbed Sabejon several times.

The victim was hit in his stomach and right forearm before he managed to get free from the suspect.

When police and relatives of the victim rushed to the crime scene, the suspect had already left the area. - Edwin Ian Melecio/LPM
