A 63-year old woman was killed by her own son after he allegedly suffered a severe nervous breakdown on Friday at their home in Numancia, Aklan. The gruesome act of 27-year old Noli Francisco, Jr. alias “Dagul” happened at around 12 noon in Barangay Badio, Numancia, Aklan. The elder Noli told Bombo Radyo Kalibo that his son Dagul began attacking and choked him while they were cooking their food for lunch.
“Idto halin dun kaina sa banwa it Lezo nag-pabueong sa ispirista. Sinumpung ta imaw tag gaeaha kami it suea sa ilabas,” the suspect’s father said in local dialect. He said his wife Ethelyn pacified their son but the latter also choked her. This prompted the elderly man to get away and sought the help of their relatives. Later, Dagul took a bamboo pole and attacked his mother several times in full view of witnesses. The suspect told the police that he killed his mother because he thought she was a “demon”.
The elderly man also suffered minor head injuries, the police said. A team led by Senior Inspector Jerick Vargas, acting Numancia police chief, arrested the half-naked suspect while he was hiding inside their house. They also recovered in the area the bamboo pole with bloodstains used by Dagul. Vargas said the victim was found lying on the ground outside their house, with a bloody face and neck. She died of fatal injuries and was pronounced dead on arrival at a local hospital at around 12:40 p.m.
Dagul, who has eight siblings, was the sixth child of the victim. “Naabutan pa natin ang suspek na lumuluhod at parang dinadasalan pa niya habang nakahandusay ang biktima. Parang wala na sa isip ang suspek. Inaresto natin ngunit malakas siya,” he said. Still, the elderly man claimed, “his son was not a violent person and it was the first time for Dagul to maltreat them.”Dagul, who is currently detained at Numancia police station, is being investigated of the incident and will be facing parricide charges.
