Daughter (and her boyfriend) charged for mother’s murder

Amother who was opposed to her daughter’s relationship with her boyfriend was killed at her home in Barangay Robles, La Castellana, Negros Occidental on Tuesday, May 10, with the daughter herself and her boyfriend allegedly conspiring to commit the crime.

Capt. Rhojn Darell Nigos, La Castellana town police chief, said the 44-year-old victim, whose name was withheld, succumbed to stab wounds on the chest and arms, and a slash on the chest.

Nigos said that some of their neighbors heard noises from the victim’s house but they did not mind, since the victim was with her elderly mother and children.

The police recovered a knife from the crime scene.

According to the police, the victim was sleeping when her 17-year-old daughter allowed her 17-year-old boyfriend to enter their house that evening.

The victim’s daughter, according to Nigos, was arrested at home, where the police found her trying to clean the crime scene.

The daughter initially denied her involvement in the crime, but police later found a lead on her wristband, on which the name of her boyfriend was printed.

From there, the police went to the boyfriend’s house and also arrested him.

To the police, the couple later admitted to the crime, claiming that they were enraged by the mother getting in the way of their relationship.

Checking the social media accounts of the couple, the police discovered messages by which they planned the crime, including which part of the victim’s body to hit.

Parricide charges were already filed against the daughter, while murder charges would be filed against her boyfriend.
