A 23-year-old man reported to have gone berserk hacked dead his own father and another elderly neighbor in the Municipality of Oslob, southern Cebu Province.

The incident happened morning on Friday, February 21, 2025 in Barangay Luka.

The man was pinpointed as the person who hacked dead his 70-year-old father and a 75-year-old neighbor.

The suspect also sustained wounds on his hand and feet after he was shot by responding policemen when he tried reportedly to attack the cops. 

GMA Regional TV Balitang Bisdak tried to seek a comment from the suspect while he was on board an ambulance, but he refused.

Aside from being handcuffed, the suspect's legs were tied. 

According to Oslob Police, a sibling of the suspect sought their assistance to have him arrested.

The sibling said that the suspect and their father had a heated argument prior to the hacking incident.

The sibling also said that she saw the suspect pulling out a bolo. She sought immediately the help of policemen.
