A scuffle occurred and Junjun was able to grab the bolo and hacked Alrey hitting his chest. Alrey was rushed to CLMMRH while Junjun evaded arrest, Garcia said.

Buyo sustained three stab wounds on his back inflicted by his neighbor, whose name he did not disclose, after they had a heated argument during a drinking spree in Purok Pinetree Zone 6 at about 10 p.m.

Bellesa meanwhile was injured when a certain “Rodel” of Sagay City, Negros Occidental and a temporary resident of Fortune Towne Subdivision, Brgy. Estefania stabbed her at the Subdivision park at about 5:50 a.m.
