Police in Albay province suspect a family feud as the motive behind a hacking spree that left a man dead and three of his children wounded Monday.

Radio dzXL reported Monday noon that the incident occurred at the victims’ house in Sitio Torog-Torog in Bautista village in Jovellar town.

Killed in the incident was Alfredo Panarigan, who succumbed to hack wounds before he could be brought to the Bicol Regional Training and Teaching Hospital (BRTTH).

Wounded were Panarigan’s wife Zenaida; son Freddie Panarigan, 4; and in-law Ruben Narito.

Police are now tracking down suspect Fernando Narito, 55, who fled after entering the house of his own relatives and hacking them with a knife.

Investigators suspect a long-standing grudge may have driven Narito to go on his stabbing spree. - GMANews.TV
