Preggy woman kills self in Muntinlupa

A 35-year-old Muntinlupa woman, who was eight-month pregnant, allegedly killed herself by hanging after learning that her husband was having an affair, the police said yesterday morning.

Police Officer 3 Arnel Pesigan, investigator-on-case, identified the victim as Aida de Saba, housewife, and resident of PNR Site, Purok 6, Barangay Bayanan, Muntinlupa.

De Saba’s body was found by her mother-in-law Eufemia, 62, hanging from a nylon cord tied around her neck at around 6 a.m.

Investigators said that the victim and her husband, Efren, had a fight the previous night over Efren’s alleged extra-marital affair. The fight ended when Efren stormed out of the house.

Probers are conducting further investigation to make sure that no "foul play" was involved in Aida’s death.

Meanwhile, a 35-year-old taxi driver was stabbed dead by a unidentified man after they engaged in a duel in Barangay Damayan, Quezon City Sunday.

Initial investigations showed that the incident took place at about 4:30 p.m. along San Vicente Street in Barangay Damayan.
