MANILA  - A jealous, pregnant woman shot her husband dead in front of their nine children in the central Philippine city of Lapu-Lapu, Cebu province, media reports said.

The 47-year-old Samuel Sollano succumbed to a bullet wound after being shot by wife Aida, 41, before their horrified children.

She is now locked up in jail facing homicide charges.

The tabloid ‘People’s Journal’, citing police reports, said the children have since been undergoing stress debriefing at the Region 7 office of the Department of Social Welfare and Development, in the provincial capital of Cebu City.  

Police said that Aida got mad at Sollano when she discovered that he had several simcards that he used to communicate with the women he was having affairs with.

On the night of June 17, when the family gathered for dinner, Aida confronted Sollano, who denied his extra-marital affairs. The confrontation led to a heated argument, prompting Aidi to get a handgun and shoot her husband.

Mother a witness to daughter’s molestation

A drunk village watchman has been arrested by his colleagues after a mother caught him molesting her mentally-ill daughter inside a barangay hall in a Metro Manila suburb of Quezon City.

The 34-year-old Jericho Bellen, public safety officer of Barangay Amihan, was charged with rape before the Quezon City Prosecutor’s Office, radio reports said.

Superintendent Richard Fiesta, commander of Anonas Police Station, said the victim’s 74-year-old mother alerted the other village watchmen when she saw her daughter being raped at the barangay hall.

Fiesta said the mother was supposed to ask for help from the barangay hall in looking for her 46-year-old daughter, who had gone missing on Friday night.

Police said Bellen was drunk when he saw his would-be victim passing by the vicinity of the barangay hall, and dragged her inside his quarters, where he started raping her.
