Father and daughter found stabbed to death in a rented house in General Mariano Alvarez, Cavite

📌 On the afternoon of Sunday, November 8, a 48-year-old father and his 22-year-old college student daughter were found dead with multiple stab wounds in the bathroom of a rented house in Barangay Delas Alas, General Mariano Alvarez, Cavite. Police have ruled out robbery or an outside intruder and consider the father the suspect.

■ What happened
· After being unable to reach the two for several hours, a relative went to the house. The door was locked, so the relative saw them collapsed through a window, then went inside and found them (how the relative got in differs by report).
· According to ABS-CBN, a kitchen knife was found near the father's right hand, and a witness told police that before the discovery, they heard the daughter shouting "Dad, stop it" from inside the house.

■ Investigation and current status
· Lt. Col. Roel Gabito, acting chief of the General Mariano Alvarez police station, said there were no signs of forced entry or theft, and that the evidence indicates the father committed the act while the daughter tried to stop him. Police are also looking into the fact that the father had been suffering from depression.
· The exact cause of death is pending autopsy results, and the police assessment is still under investigation.

■ Notes for residents and travelers
· If you hear arguments or screams from a neighboring house, report it to the barangay or 911 right away.
· When checking on a family member or neighbor you can't reach, don't go in alone; go together with the barangay or police.
