A 72-year-old woman was hacked to death by her own husband in Barangay Calumpang, Oslob town, south Cebu Province.

The woman sustained several stab and hack wounds all over her body.

It was her children who found her body covered in blood inside the house.

Her 73-year-old husband fled at dawn after the incident on September 7, 2024; but he was arrested in Mandaue City in the morning of September 8, 2024.

The husband said that he has had enough of his wife being a loudmouth

"Nabungol na kos iyang mga yawyaw," the suspect said.

He added that the constant upbraiding he got from his wife had given him sleepless nights.

The couple's eldest child told police that they already tried to have their parents live separately to pad squabbles and physical abuse. But prior to the incident, their mother decided to sleep at the house where their father lives.

The eldest child said that they may forgive their father, but they are determined to file a case against him for parricide.

The case is set to be filed on September 10, 2024.
