Two people, including a 10-year-old boy, were killed allegedly over a seat at a computer shop in Santo Tomas, Davao del Norte.

Police said the incident started when the suspect, allegedly intoxicated at that time, claimed someone had taken his seat at the shop. The suspect allegedly got enraged and his outburst turned violent.

He stabbed the minor victim with a screw driver and hit another victim with a fire extinguisher.

The minor victim sustained injuries in the head and back.

“Kining suspetsado, niabot daw ni sa computeran nga hubog human nasuko siya kay gipulihan lagi daw siya sa iyang lingkuranan. Kaning minor, gidunggab niya sa screw driver, naay samad sa likod dughan ug sa ulo. Ang isa, gibunalan pud niya og fire extinguisher mao nang nangamatay,” Santo Tomas Police Station Chief, Major Eduardo Corpuz, said.

Authorities said there were signs that the suspect may have been under the influence of drugs at that time. He reportedly admitted during interrogation that someone had convinced him to use shabu. However, since the charges against him were related to the killing, he was not made to undergo a drug test.

“Makita gyud nimo nga wala pa mahuwasan sa pagkasabog, sa atoang pag-interview sa iyaha, naay nag-impluwensya sa iyaha nga mogamit og shabu. Sa pagdakop wala tay nakuha nga shabu dili pud nato ma-undergo og drug test kay ang relation sa iyang kaso kay murder man. We believe (nagagamit) kay...ang porma niya, ang panga niya, makita gyud nimo ang actuation niya, sa gesture sa iyang lawas kung ang tao nagagamit og druga then ang panga, nagsige’g kagot,” Corpuz added.

The suspect is facing murder charges.
