A 37-year-old woman, identified only as “Edna,” was found lifeless inside the boutique where she worked in Iligan City, past noon on July 1.

Authorities confirmed that she suffered multiple stab wounds, OnePH reported.

Initial investigations pointed to her former live-in partner as the primary suspect. Edna had reportedly separated from the man about a month before the incident.

Police quickly pursued this lead and proceeded to the suspect’s residence.

According to Police Major Zandrex Panolong, spokesperson of the Iligan City Police Office (CPO), the suspect's child played a key role in the early stages of the investigation.

“Immediately, we considered the ex-partner a person of interest. When we went to his home, we encountered their child, who said, ‘My father works at a hardware store.’ The child also noticed blood stains on his father’s shorts,” PMaj Panolong shared.

Following the tip, authorities were able to locate and arrest the suspect, who later confessed to committing the crime.

The motive behind the fatal stabbing has not yet been disclosed, but investigators suspect it may be linked to a personal dispute.

Meanwhile, Edna’s tragic death has sparked concerns about domestic violence and women’s safety, particularly among those trying to escape abusive relationships.

Police continue to gather evidence as they prepare to file formal charges against the suspect. The case remains under investigation.
