There’s a thin line between love and hate…and sometimes that line is drawn in blood.
On Sunday afternoon, June 22, Monica Banez, 56, was reportedly hacked to death by her husband, Arsenio, after she sneaked off to join a bingo game at Baseco Compound in Port Area, Manila,” reports Aie Balagtas See in The Philippine Star.
The report said that Arsenio had been asleep when Monica reportedly left their home to play bingo. When he woke up at around 5pm and realized that she was gone, he grabbed a butcher’s knife and went looking for her. When he found her at the game, he attacked her.
The victim was declared dead on arrival at Gat Andres Bonifacio Memorial Medical Center.
Arsenio is now detained at Manila Police District’s homicide section. He has been charged before the city prosecutor’s office.
