Woman charges hubby with frustrated parricide
CEBU, Philippines - A call center agent charged her husband with frustrated parricide before the Regional Trial Court for allegedly trying to kill her last week.
Ian Borja, 27, was indicted of frustrated parricide and was ordered to pay P40,000 bail for his temporary liberty.
He was accused by his wife Marie Christine Borja of stabbing her last January 26. The victim said they were in their room when the accused suddenly stabbed her in the stomach without any provocation.
Marie said she cried for help until their house helper arrived forcing her husband to leave her. The accused allegedly went downstairs to get another kitchen knife and went back to show her how he slashed his neck and left wrist.
Marie said her husband also stabbed himself as he lay down beside her on the bed. The victim said she was able to get the knife from her husband while he was trying to hurt himself more.
The accused was arrested by the responding policemen who also brought them to the hospital. –Mitchelle L. Palaubsanon/FPL (THE FREEMAN)
