A 28-year-old man was shot dead by his 41-year-old brother in Malaybalay City, Bukidnon.

Police said the victim allegedly ran amok and tried to hack another sibling with a bolo, prompting the suspect to shoot him.

“Nang-harass may bitbit na bolo parang may misunderstanding silang magkakapatid,” Bukidnon Police Provincial Office (PPO) Spokesperson, Major Jayvee Babaan, said.

The victim died in the hospital after losing too much blood.

After the incident, the suspect surrendered to barangay officials and the police, and reportedly owned up to the crime.

“Itong biktima in which na nabaril, parang may something sa kanya, unstable ang mind niya, bigla lang mag-mood swing parang hindi pa ata nila napa-checkup. Kasi, parang may something accordingly sa mga relative nila sa area,” Babaan added.

Police recovered the gun used in the incident, which the suspect had thrown into a grassy area.

The suspect is now facing murder charges.
