TWO men on Sunday barged in the house of their neighbor, hacked one dead and injured two others in the City of San Jose del Monte in Bulacan.

In a report to Police Regional Office 3 director Brig. Gen. Jose Hidalgo Jr., the Bulacan police identified the fatality as Victorino Bubos, 44; while those hurt were Glen Vincent Bubos, 20, and Janelou Lomboy,18.

All victims are residents of Phase 2, Sec.14, Pabahay 2000, Bgy. Muzon South, CSJDM.

The suspects were Christian Pitogo, a merchandiser, who was arrested after the attack; and alias Dennis, who was able to escape after the incident.

The victims were resting inside their house when the two suspects forcibly entered. Pitogo, who was armed with a jungle bolo, suddenly hacked Victorino repeatedly.

Vincent and Jenelou tried to intervene but were stabbed with a knife by alias Dennis.

Some concerned citizens sought help from the barangay tanods, who immediately arrested Pitogo while Dennis eluded arrest.

All victims were rushed to the Ospital ng Lungsod ng San Jose Del Monte, where Victorino was declared dead on arrival.

Pitogo was turned over to the CSJDM police for filing of appropriate charges while a follow-up investigation is being conducted to arrest the fleeing suspect.
