Man hangs self, vowing to haunt unfaithful girlfriend

MANILA, Philippines—The discovery that the love of his life was less than faithful drove a 29-year-old man in Quezon City to hang himself, leaving a note in which he vowed to haunt his beloved for the rest of her life for her infidelity.

Police said Perfecto Mengorio  of 135 Upper Gulod, Barangay Sauyo in Novaliches said in the suicide note he was taking his life because he had caught his girlfriend with another man.

An official report prepared by the Quezon City Police District’s Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit  said Mengorio’s body was discovered hanging by a nylon cord from the ceiling of his bedroom at around 3 p.m. Thursday by his mother, Virginia.

Police investigators said that in a portion of the note addressed to his girlfriend, Mengorio said he would haunt her for the rest of her lifetime.

He then apologized to his mother, siblings, nephews and nieces for what he was about to do, the police report said.
