A man from Zamboanga City was left in a situation, and his angry reaction has put him behind bars.
The man, named only as Anthony, works as a waiter at a local restaurant. He normally goes home in the early hours of the morning after his shift, but one night he got home early and got into bed with his 21-year-old common-law wife.
But Anthony, aged 29, felt something moving under the bed, and discovered a man hiding there.
To make matters worse, the man is Anthony’s first cousin – who he now believes is his wife’s lover.
Blinded by range, Anthony picked up a scissors and stabbed his partner and her lover.
Other family members were inside the house at the time including their two-year-old daughter.
Both victims were taken to hospital where the lover died several hours later. The women remains in critical condition.
Police describe the incident as a crime of passion. The suspect is in custody.
