Jealous wife stabs girl in the head

MANILA, Philippines - A woman who suspected a teenage girl of having an affair with her husband stabbed the girl in the head with a pair of scissors in Navotas City Monday night.

Victim Marden Bernardino, 18, was walking home in Barangay Tangos when her neighbor, Christine Crisostomo, 25, attacked her at around 8:30 p.m., according to a report by Police Officer 1 Jennelyn Manabat.
