Zamboanga farmer hacks neighbours with machete for stealing bananas

A farmer from Sibugay, Zamboanga, has been arrested for hacking two neighbours who chopped down a banana plant.

Randy Balatero was arrested while his two victims were taken to hospital for hack wounds.

The suspect learned of the incident and stormed the house of the two victims at about 9.30pm the same night and hacked both of them with a machete.

Oddly this is the second report this month of banana theft that turned into hacking incidents in Mindanao.
