Sensitive content. According to police, the incident happened on the afternoon of November 5 in a shopping mall parking lot, after the victim met her cousin, the suspect, to borrow 200,000 pesos.
A 31-year-old woman had her throat slashed by her 36-year-old male cousin and needed at least 15 stitches. It happened in Pulilan, Bulacan, after an argument inside a car.
According to Pulilan police station chief Lt. Col. Eric Cister, the incident took place on the afternoon of November 5 in a mall parking lot. The victim met the suspect to borrow 200,000 pesos.
The deal turned into a quarrel when the victim refused a "proposal" the suspect made before handing over the money.
"Before giving her the money, the man demanded sex first... the woman refused, and after that a physical struggle broke out. That's when the suspect started hitting the woman... she suffered a large wound on her neck," Cister said.
When a mall security guard tried to check on the commotion, the suspect drove off with the bleeding victim still in the car.
The two made it as far as Kennon Road in Baguio, where the car ran out of gas and stopped.
While the suspect left to look for a gas station, the victim escaped and sought help.
"The Baguio City police station reported to us... we coordinated with each other, and follow-up operations began just after midnight that night," Cister added.
The suspect surrendered to Pulilan police on the afternoon of November 7, after authorities talked with his family.
"Our other investigators went to the suspect's house and the victim's house, since the two are cousins. So we persuaded the suspect's family to have him surrender... it took almost 36 hours before the family decided to have him turn himself in," Cister said.
"So far he has chosen to remain silent and has made no statement."
The suspect faces charges of attempted murder, acts of lasciviousness, and kidnapping. He had lent money to the victim before.
The victim has been safely discharged from the hospital and, according to police, asked for privacy while the investigation continues.
What on earth is wrong with the world these days? This is insane. Lock him up for life.
The family only turned him in after 36 hours? Bad blood runs in the family.
From Bulacan all the way to Baguio without even treating the neck wound? Oh my God
He's her cousin, for God's sake!!! He did that filthy perverted thing, and when she obviously refused, he slit her throat? Crazy relative bastard! 'Some men' have really lost it, they're not in their right minds! The family is trash too, they were taking his side, and it looks like they had no intention of making him surrender if no one had come looking for him. When family enables this, only the female victims lose out, tsk tsk.
