‘Drug-crazed’ man kills 2 sons

A 42-year-old man was shot dead by police officers after he allegedly stabbed his two sons to death in their house in Taguig City yesterday morning.

The city police received a call from a concerned citizen about a commotion in a house on Pangilinan street in New Lower Bicutan, according to Chief Superintendent Tomas Apolinario, Southern Police District director.

Ariston Nacion allegedly tried to stab the police officers sent to verify the report, prompting them to shoot him. He died at the scene, Apolinario said.

The police officers found the bodies of Nacion’s sons Jivo, 13, and Lancem, 6.

Apolinario alleged that Nacion stabbed them while under the influence of illegal drugs after talking on the phone to his wife, who works in Hong Kong as a domestic helper.

He said Nacion allegedly killed his sons in a fit of jealousy fueled by the use of illegal drugs, but noted that Nacion is not on the barangay drug watchlist.

A sachet of shabu was recovered at the crime scene, Apolinario said.
