A 56-year-old man died on Saturday, June 21, after a heated argument with a coworker in Barangay Capoocan, Calbayog City, escalated into a fatal stabbing.

The incident saw a common workplace disagreement tragically turn violent, leading to a murder charge against the alleged assailant.

Police investigation revealed that after an initial altercation, the victim left the scene but soon returned, armed with a bolo—a large, single-edged Filipino knife.

A struggle ensued between the two men. During the scuffle, the victim fell, and the suspect managed to seize control of the weapon. The suspect then allegedly used the bolo to repeatedly hack and stab the victim.

The injured man was quickly transported to a nearby hospital in an effort to save his life. However, he was declared dead on arrival by medical personnel, succumbing to the severe injuries sustained from the attack.

Following the deadly confrontation, the suspect did not flee. Instead, he surrendered to the Barangay Captain of Barangay Obrero, who then facilitated his transfer to the Calbayog City Police Station.

Authorities have since confirmed that the suspect will be facing a murder charge in connection with the fatality.

This swift apprehension by the police, aided by the suspect's surrender, marks a critical step in the legal process.

The incident highlights the volatile nature that disputes can sometimes take, even within a work environment.

Local authorities are continuing their investigation to fully establish the circumstances that led to the fatal outcome, ensuring all aspects of the case are thoroughly examined before court proceedings commence.
