Police identified the victim as Christian Earl Pablito, 25.
Police Staff Master Sgt. Erwin Jamandre, case investigator, said Christian arrived and saw there was no food on the table, triggering an argument with his 19-year-old sister.
Their intoxicated father arrived home and witnessed their altercation. He attempted to pacify them but the victim turned his anger on his father and punched him.
The suspect slumped to the ground but the victim grabbed a knife and stabbed his son in the chest. The victim was declared dead in a hospital and police recovered the knife.
Jamandre said the suspect voluntarily surrendered to barangay watchmen or tanods and turned over to the police.
The suspect’s wife who arrived from Iloilo on Monday, October 7, refused to file charges against her husband.
