MANILA, Philippines - One of the suspects in the killing of a father and his son in Malabon surrendered to the authorities Thursday evening.

Reports said that Anthony Sernechez, 26, turned himself in to Caloocan police and owned up to the killing of Ferlizardo Coralde, 46 and his son Albert, 20 last Wednesday in Malabon.

Sernechez told the police that his only participation in the killing was to tie up and blindfold the two men. He pointed to a certain Aries Santos as the one who slit the throats of the victims, reports said.

The suspect also claimed that Santos is a relative of the victims.
