hurt in stabbings
A
farmer who wanted a fight got his wish last December 29 when he was
stabbed by a fisherman in Panay island, Bagamanoc town, police reported
last week.
Magin
Cueva y Teope, 45, married and a resident of barangay Bagatabao, allegedly
entered the house of suspect Edwin Tomazar y Torio, 45, single and a
fisherman of sitio Late in barangay Quigaray on or about 4 P.M. Already
armed with a bolo, Tomazar challenged the suspect to a duel.
Tomazar
obliged, stabbing the victim with a 12-inch stainless kitchen knife,
sending Cueva to Bagamanoc town proper and then to the Viga district
hospital for treatment.
In the other incident, Victor Gonzales y Ibatuan, 40, married and a farmer
of barangay Sta. Cruz, Pandan, was walking on his way home from the
poblacion when, upon reaching a dark place in sitio Biyong, someone
stabbed him several times. He was taken to the Pandan district hospital
while police are still tracing the unidentified suspect.
Meanwhile,
Pandan police are holding in custody a wooden banca being fought over by
two alleged owners, one of them from a neighboring town.
Alleged
original owner Teofisto Vega of San Joaquin, Panganiban earlier
coordinated with SPO1 Florencio Eubra and PO2 Juan Dominguez in a bid to
recover his missing banca. The two cops conducted a search operation at a
swampy area in Pandan and found it in possession of a certain Rene
Castillo y Villarey in Pandan del Norte.
Castillo
claimed that he bought the vessel from an unidentified person delivering
nipa shingles from Panganiban to Pandan. The police have refused to
release the banca in the light of the conflicting claims.
