ZAMBOANGA CITY – A 53-year old woman had brutally killed her 12-year grandson in the southern Philippine province of Basilan, police said Saturday.
Police found the decapitated body of the Angelito Olis at a coconut plantation in the village called Bohe Sapa in Lamitan City on Friday evening after the boy disappeared in their house.
This horrifying incident was also confirmed by the provincial government.
The woman, Marilou Tumangquiz, was arrested by the village watchmen and handed her over to the police. The woman admitted murdering the boy, telling investigators how she dragged the victim to the farm under cover of darkness and there she tied the boy’s petite body to a tree and started hacking him with a bolo until he died.
Family members said the woman is suffering from a mental illness, but this has to be validated by a medical doctor or the police which has mounted an investigation into the gruesome killing.
It was unclear what triggered the grandmother to kill the boy who was alone in the house at that time. The boy’s parents have not issued any statement or whether they would file murder case against the woman. (Al Jacinto)
