Police said two weeks ago, Rodriguez gave P1,000 to the victim and asked the woman to give the money to her live-in partner.

Police said Rodriguez got upset at the woman when he learned that the money was not given to the victim’s partner until the day that the stabbing occurred. /CORRESPONDENT CHITO O. ARAGON
