“On Thursday night, Feb 27, Taguig City police arrested Danny Belono, 45, for killing the woman and child,” reports Mike Frialde on Philstar.com.

Belono was arrested at about 10pm at his shanty at the back of SM Aura. The victims were later identified as his common-law-wife Jonalyn Gantiao, 30, and her four-year-old daughter, Gwenn Angel. The report did not say if Belono was also the child’s father.

Witnesses reportedly confirmed that the dead mother and child had lived with Belono. Police say the motive behind the killings was jealousy.
