18-year-old woman stabbed to death by her mom's ex-boyfriend

An 18-year-old was stabbed to death by her mother’s former live-in boyfriend in Biñan City, Laguna.

According to Andrew Bernardo’s report on GMA Regional TV “Balitang Southern Tagalog”, the victim was identified as Jonaflor Gurra.

She sustained multiple wounds to different parts of her body and was found dead inside her house at Purok Uno, Barangay Timbao on Sunday afternoon.

According to a witness, suspect Jason Abejuela forcibly entered the house of Gurra.

The witness also said that they heard the victim scream and ask for help.

A few minutes later, the witness said the victim stopped screaming and the suspect immediately left the crime scene.

The victim was then rushed to a hospital for medical treatment but was declared dead on arrival.

“Pinagbabantaan na nitong suspek ng suspek na si Jason ‘yung kanyang dating live-in-partner. Gusto niya kasi makipagbalikan sa nanay ng biktima kung kaya’t noong sila ay nagtatalo at hindi sila nagkaunawaan, pinagbantaan niya ‘yung nanay ng biktima na sasaktan niya hanggang sa humantong na pinuntahan niya ito sa tinitirhan ng kanyang dating live-in-partner,” Biñan City Police Station chief Police Lieutenant Colonel Virgilio Jopia said.

“Ang kanyang naabutan ay ‘yung ating biktimang dalaga at doon na niya naituon ang kanyang galit,” he added.

In a follow up operation conducted by Biñan City Police, the suspect was arrested at Las Piñas City on Sunday evening.

“Kaagad natin pinuntahan ang mga possible residence ng mga kanyang kaibigan at kanyang mga kamag-anak. So, sa pamamagitan ng din ng kanyang mga kamag-anak, doon natin siya na-locate sa lungsod ng Las Piñas. Virgilio said. “Ang nagturo sa kanya ay mga mga relatives din niya, upang sagayon agad natin maaresto.”

The suspect, who is currently detained at the custodial facility of Biñan City Police, will face charges of murder.
