A 60-year-old man was hacked to death by his 26-year-old son in Barangay Talandang, Davao City evening on Tuesday, February 4, 2025.

According to a report by GMA Super Radyo Davao, the victim and the suspect attended a birthday celebration and decided to continue drinking at their house.

The two reportedly figured in a heated argument, which resulted in the hacking.

The victim sustained hack wounds in different parts of his body and did not reach the hospital alive.

A neighbor saw the suspect go out of the house holding a bolo and allegedly said he hacked his father because his father allegedly hacked him first.

Police said the suspect also sustained three wounds in his right arm, but the suspect’s nephew said the wounds were self-inflicted.

The suspect surrendered to the barangay and is now under police custody. He is facing parricide charges.
