A GRADE 3 pupil died while his parents were wounded after a neighbor strafed their house in barangay Guba, Cebu City, last Wednesday evening.
The victim identified as Jasper Ceniza sustained a gunshot wound on his chest while his parents Reynaldo Ybañez and Cristina Ceniza were rushed to the Guba Emergency Hospital for treatment.
The suspect, a 31-year-old neighbor identified as Junrey Borres Andrecoso, was arrested by Cebu City police.
He reportedly admitted to the crime, saying he got angry at Ybañez for threatening to kill his pet dog.
PO3 Lou Pagara, homicide investigator, said Reynaldo allegedly threatened to kill Andrecoso’s dog after the canine supposedly bit Jasper whom he sent on an errand.
Andrecoso underwent paraffin test at the PNP Crime Laboratory. “Di unta siya padakop kun wa pa naigo ang bata (He wouldn’t have surrendered if the boy wasn’t killed),” said Pagara. Correspondent Chito Aragon
