MANILA, Philippines — A man was apprehended yesterday after he allegedly stabbed dead his 88-year-old father over an inheritance dispute in Quezon City.
Arnelito Alviz, 64, is facing parricide charges for reportedly killing his father, Roberto Alviz.
Lt. Col. Ritchie Claraval, commander of the Masambong police station, said the incident took place at the victim’s house in Barangay Del Monte at
around 8 a.m.
Members of the Special Weapons and Tactics unit of the Quezon City police said they asked the younger Alviz to surrender.
The suspect, who was armed with a .38-caliber handgun, refused.
“Ayaw niya sumuko kaya pinasok na namin ‘yung bahay,” Claraval said in a phone interview.
Police said the suspect attempted to shoot one of the lawmen but his gun got jammed.
A police officer fired at Alviz, hitting him on the shoulder.
Police brought the suspect to a hospital for treatment. A kitchen knife was found in his possession.
Probers said Alviz stabbed his father after they argued over his inheritance, which was reportedly smaller compared to his siblings.
