A husband known by the alias “Buti” died after he was stabbed by his wife during a heated argument in Barangay Lawis, Cebu City. Police said the fight began when the wife, identified as “Mamay,” allegedly insisted on getting a hair rebond. According to the report by Bombo Radyo, she told her husband that she wanted the salon treatment, but he refused because they did not have extra money.

The refusal started a disagreement that quickly escalated. The couple continued arguing inside their home, and the tension grew until Mamay allegedly reached for a sharp object. She then stabbed her husband in the stomach. Neighbors rushed to help and brought the victim to the hospital, but he eventually lost his life due to the wound.
