Children want mother out of prison
WHILE they don’t want to press charges against her, the children of the pregnant woman who killed their father want her to stay out of their lives for now.
“We want her out of jail and undergo counseling. But we don’t want her back in our lives because we think it’s not good for us. She can stay somewhere else. We have not forgiven her yet,” one of Editha Suliano’s daughters said.
Editha Suliano is still detained in the Lapu-Lapu City police precinct after she admitted that she shot to death her husband Samuel last Sunday night.
She said she’s worried that her husband’s family would harm her and her family.
“I don’t worry about my children because I know that they will not hurt them. I’m more worried about my mother and siblings. Samuel’s family might hurt them,” a tearful Suliano said.
Suliano, who said she had been crying non-stop since the incident, is one month pregnant with her 10th child with Samuel.
Editha and Samuel had been married for 26 years.
Suliano said she shot her husband on suspicion that he has a secret affair with a text mate after he came home late several times. Charges of parricide have yet to be filed against her.
Senior Insp. Zenaido Pastorfide Jr., homicide section chief of the Lapu-Lapu City police said if there are no charges she can be released.
While Suliano’s children want her freed because of her condition, one of the victim’s siblings, Ricardo Suliano, said she should remain in jail.
“We want justice. We want her to suffer in jail,” Ricardo said. Correspondent Carine M. Asutilla
