MANILA, Philippines - A 30-year-old man was charged with attempted parricide and illegal possession of deadly weapons after he reportedly tried to kill his own mother in Caloocan City Saturday afternoon.
Junwill Michael Chan came home drunk at around 3 p.m., creating trouble and claiming that his mother, Wilma Chan, 59, loves his siblings more than him, police said.
Wilma told police she tried to pacify her son, but he got hold of a bolo and tried to hack her. He missed, and Wilma was able to run out of their house and call for help.
Law enforcers disarmed Chan and brought him to the police station.
