It took a PHP10 coin to break the camel’s back.
On Monday, 20-year-old Nel Jessa Nivera, 5 months pregnant, stabbed dead her abusive live in partner. He was going to beat her up over a measly PHP10 which she used to buy food.
Manila police identified the man as Leopoldo Tioson, 32. He died from a single stab wound to the buttocks.
Nivera was 5 months pregnant with their third child. According to reports, the two had an argument at around 10 a.m. over PHP10.
Tioson was going to beat Nivera with a stick but the latter rushed to the kitchen and stabbed the father of her children.
She has been arrested and charged with murder.
