The suspect, who was also the victims' drinking buddy, is now in stable condition at a hospital and will face double murder charges.
The incident, which was reportedly fueled by alcohol, has left the community in shock.
According to a report by GMA Regional TV One Mindanao, the two victims, aged 67 and 52, were found lifeless outside their home by concerned neighbors on Thursday.
The investigation by the police revealed that the victims and the 48-year-old suspect were drinking together when a heated argument suddenly erupted between them.
Police Major Joann Navarro, the spokesperson for the Police Regional Office-Northern Mindanao (PRO-10), provided a chilling account of the incident.
She explained that the suspect's initial argument was with one of the in-laws.
When the other in-law intervened to help, a physical fight ensued, and the victims were able to injure the suspect. Following this initial scuffle, the suspect retreated to his home.
What happened next turned a brawl into a double hom1cide. The suspect returned minutes later, no longer with just his fists, but armed with two itak—a type of long, heavy knife or machete.
He then brutally attacked and hacked both men, who were unable to defend themselves. The victims were killed instantly, while the suspect, who had been injured in the initial fight, was taken to the hospital for treatment.
According to Major Navarro, the investigation suggests that there was no long-standing feud or prior conflict between the suspect and the victims.
The altercation was an isolated event, and investigators believe it was solely a result of their intoxication.
The suspect, who is now medically stable, remains under police guard and is expected to be formally charged with two counts of murder.
The tragedy serves as a grim reminder of how alcohol can escalate minor disputes into fatal acts of violence.
The community is still reeling from the shocking event, as a friendly drinking session tragically ended with two lives lost.
