A father and son were killed while the mother was injured after a stabbing attack inside their home in Naga City, Cebu, early Sunday morning.
The incident happened past 2 a.m. on May 10 in Purok Eskwelahan, Barangay Inayagan.
Authorities identified the fatalities as 59-year-old Conrado Tapdasan and his 21-year-old son, Dominic Tapdasan.
Conrado’s wife, 49-year-old Edna Tapdasan, sustained stab wounds and survived the attack.
Police arrested the suspect identified as 28-year-old Albert Geonzon Sedeño, a resident of Purok Tower in the same barangay.
In an interview with Brigada News FM Cebu, a relative identified only as John said he earlier had an altercation with the suspect during a disco party.
John said the suspect allegedly forced him to dance, but he refused, leading to an argument and fistfight.
Friends reportedly intervened and separated them.
However, the family allegedly did not expect the suspect to go to their house afterward.
Investigators believe the suspect may have thought John had already returned home.
Instead, the suspect allegedly attacked John’s family members while they were asleep.
Conrado and Dominic died from stab wounds, while Edna was injured during the attack.
Authorities said the suspect now faces two counts of murder and one count of frustrated murder in connection with the incident.
