A female overseas Filipino worker died after receiving around 50 stab wounds to various parts of her body allegedly committed by her partner in Sipalay City, Negros Occidental.
In a report by Adrian Prietos on GMA Regional TV News on Friday, the victim was identified as Enelisa Petra, 30-years-old.
The suspect, Jhondad Sase, was arrested and detained.
It was found out that Petua worked as an OFW in Saudi Arabia and only returned to the country this January.
According to Police Major James Latayon, chief of the Sipalay Police station, intense jealousy appears to be the motive for the crime.
Sase was allegedly drunk when he bought a knife and went to the victim’s boarding house.
The two had a heated argument when Sase confronted Petua, who allegedly chats a foreigner.
The confrontation turned into a heinous crime after Sase stabbed the victim.
Sase apologizes for what he did, especially to his two children Petua.
The victim’s family decided to file a case against Sase.
