The suspect asked for forgiveness to the mother of the children. The suspect reportedly used his own blood to write how much he loved his girlfriend.
FOUR children were stabbed to death by their mother’s boyfriend in Trece Martirez, Cavite on Thursday. The suspect also stabbed himself and died in the hospital.
Reports said that the bloodied and lifeless bodies of the victims were found in their rooms and identified as Maria, 14; Bianca, 10; Joy, 8; and Conrad, 6 – all residents of Bgy. Cabuco, Trece Martirez. The children bore stab wounds in different parts of their bodies and died on the spot.
The suspect, who is the stepfather of the victims, was identified as Felimon Galisangga Escalona, a 38-year-old tricycle driver who is also a resident of the said area and lives with the victims’ mother.
In a report gathered from Police Lt. Colonel Jonathan Aznan, chief of police in this city, at 12:35 in the afternoon, the Trece Martires Police received a call from the barangay officials of Cabuco regarding an alleged disturbance at the house of the victims.
When the police arrived at the Summer Homes in Bgy. Cabuco, Trece Martires City, the gate of the house was locked. They had to use a bolt cutter to open it.
As the police entered the house, the suspect immediately rushed to them, bleeding and with a stab wound to his chest.
Upon entering the siblings’ rooms, the police found the bloodied bodies of the victims with stab wounds.
It was learned from the neighbors of the victims that they heard shouts and cries in the said house, so they sought help from the barangay officials and the police.
Police said the mother of the siblings is an overseas Filipino worker in Saudi Arabia and that her relationship with the suspect has reportedly only been for more than a month.
Police are still investigating the case.
