The victim was rushed to a hospital following the attack. However, medical personnel declared her dead on arrival.
Police quickly launched an operation that led to the arrest of the suspect shortly after the incident. According to investigators, the man was allegedly intoxicated at the time of the crime.
Authorities said the suspect claimed he did not fully understand what he had done because he was drunk.
Despite this claim, police confirmed that the suspect is now facing a murder case in connection with the killing.
Further background checks also revealed that the suspect had previously been jailed. Police said he had already faced criminal charges in the past before the latest incident.
Investigators are continuing their probe to determine the full circumstances behind the attack, including how the suspect managed to enter the victim’s home and whether there were other factors involved.
Meanwhile, the tragic killing has left the victim’s family and community in shock, especially after learning that the woman was pregnant and that her child was present during the incident.
In a related development, the Bacoor Component City Police have identified the man seen in a viral video trying to open a vehicle as Joel Viola Matados, a resident of General Trias who is reportedly dealing with a medical condition. According to his family, Matados had left home and appeared disoriented at the time of the incident. Motorist Lorie Sy recounted a tense moment on the road, saying she remained locked inside her car while Matados repeatedly pulled on her door handle in the middle of traffic. Authorities are asking the public to promptly report any sightings so that Matados can be located and given proper medical care.
In another operation, agents from the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) CALABARZON rescued 10 individuals from an alleged abusive situation at a resort in Laguna on February 19, 2026. The rescue followed weeks of covert monitoring by investigators. A male suspect was taken into custody for allegedly using social media to exploit victims and arrange illegal transactions for profit. He is currently detained without bail and is facing multiple charges under the Anti-Traffic*king in Persons Act and the Cybercrime Prevention Act.
