A man stabbed his uncle dead before also stabbing himself in Purok Paghidaet, Barangay Tangub in Bacolod City, at about 8:40 a.m. yesterday.
Ciriaco Pabalinas, 49, of the barangay, and the suspect, identified as Mark Lowell Pabalinas Atiemza, 34, were rushed to the Corazon Locsin Montelibano Memorial Regional Hospital, police records show.
However, Pabalinas was declared dead on arrival, while Atiemza is now recuperating at the hospital, the police said.
