A FISHERMAN was arrested after he stabbed his wife and daughter at home in barangay Poblacion, Dalaguete town, southern Cebu.
Police said Vicente Bingal, 68, was drunk when he stabbed his wife, Cristina, 68, and daughter Maridel Gonzales, 44.
According to the investigation, Vicente was drunk when he arrived home past 6 p.m. on Friday.
Vicente scolded his seven-year-old grandson, who was playing inside the house when he arrived.

Some relatives and neighbors of the couple checked the commotion and later arrested the fisherman, whom they turned over to the police.
