A 48-year old farmer stabbed his wife and two sons due to an alleged misunderstanding in their home Sunday in Barangay Amdus, Bindoy, Oriental Negros.

The victims suffered wounds in the abdomen and hands and were brought to the Bindoy District Hospital by responding authorities for treatment. Benjie was later brought to the Negros Oriental Provincial Hospital.

The suspect, however, escaped after the stabbing, police said.

Meanwhile, in Sta. Catalina, police arrested Krisanto Piacidad, 21, single, of Barangay Tinago, Dumaguete, for stabbing James Macapanas, 27, married, of Brgy. Maloh, inside the barangay dance hall for no apparent reason.
