The victim was declared dead on arrival at the Quezon Health Infirmary Hospital.

Initial investigation by the Quezon Municipal Police Station (MPS) revealed a brewing feud between the two men. On Sept. 28, the victim allegedly chased the suspect with a knife. Two days later, the suspect filed a police report claiming he was mauled by the victim’s brother.

Following the killing, the suspect surrendered to the local barangay chairman, who turned him over to the Quezon MPS. Investigators seized the Ingram firearm, a steel magazine, several spent 9mm bullet casings, and the knife used in the stabbing at the crime scene.

Col. Oliver Navales, Bukidnon Provincial Police Office director, has ordered a thorough probe into the incident, urging the public to immediately report suspicious individuals or threats.

“Cooperation and support of the community is the key to make Bukidnon a safe place to live,” Navales stated in an advisory. /jpv
