Man faces parricide raps for killing wife in Negros Oriental

DUMAGUETE CITY—A 40-year-old man faces parricide charges after being arrested Thursday for allegedly killing his wife in Barangay Sacsac, Manjuyod town, Negros Oriental.

Lindio Ejercito, 40, stabbed his wife Analita multiple times while arguing with each other over the latter’s plan to leave the suspect, said Staff Sergeant Elixir Badoy of the Manjuyod police.

“After receiving a report, we immediately responded to the crime scene and were able to arrest the suspect,” Badoy said.

Authorities were still waiting for the post-mortem examination results of the wife’s body, to be used to file the charges against Ejercito.
