A 62-year-old man stabbed his own son to death inside their home in Barangay Maroza, Narvacan, Ilocos Sur.

The suspect was identified as Flordelino Tadeo, 62, and the victim was identified as Norman Yamon, 35.

Both father and son were reportedly drunk at the time of the incident.

Based on investigation, the son reportedly wanted to put his father to bed but his father also reportedly insisted for his son to sleep. This led to a heated argument and eventually escalated to the father stabbing his son.

The victim sustained a fatal wound to the abdomen.

The police said the suspect has regretted his action and has sought forgiveness.

“Nagsisisi naman kung bakit nagawa niya ‘yung ganung pangyayari. Humihingi naman siya ng kapatawaran, pero dun sa side ng family members ay lubha silang nasaktan,” PSSG. Engelbert Yadao, an investigator from the Narvacan Police Station, said.
