On Fri, Aug 21, a nine-year-old boy was stabbed dead allegedly by his neighnbor in Barangay Nazareth in Cagayan de Oro City.
Police identified the suspect as one Alfonso Dadule, who is said to be a former teacher.
The boy was found dead with stab wounds in his chest. His body was discovered in his room on the second floor of their house.
According to police, Dadule, who was the boy’s neighbor, often invited the boy and his seven-year-old brother to his house.
Dadule allegedly requested a sexual favor from the 9-year-old boy, but the latter rejected the ex-teacher’s advances, according to P03 Ariel Reusora, the investigator assigned to the case.
It is not clear how Dadule got into the boy’s house. The boy’s family presumably trusted him.
Dadule is temporarily detained at the Macasandig Police Station in Cagayan de Oro. He will face a murder charge.
