Hacking hurts baker in Camotes
CEBU, Philippines - A baker is in critical condition after he was repeatedly hacked by his cousin in Sitio Bakhaw, Heminsulan, San Francisco Thursday evening.
Joel Impas, 39, sustained several hack wounds in different parts of his body for trying to parry the blows from his cousin Beinvenido Impas, 48.
The victim had just arrived when he saw his cousin throwing stones at his house. Joel confronted the suspect but the latter went inside his house without a word. Minutes later the suspect came out already armed with a bolo.
Beinvenido approached Joel and started hacking the victim in the head and in other parts of the body. Although he was already wounded, Joel managed to disarm his cousin before the responding barangay tanods and their neighbors came to pacify them.
Joel was rushed to Dr. Maningo District Hospital while Beinvenido surrendered himself to the barangay tanods.
Heminsulan barangay captain Marcelo Almacin turned over the suspect to the San Francisco Police Station including his 18 inches bolo. —/FPL (FREEMAN)
