Cet Dematera - The Philippine Star

LEGAZPI CITY, Philippines – A 13-year-old boy was surrendered by his parents to the police in Daraga, Albay yesterday after he admitted bashing to death a 68-year-old woman who allegedly called him a thief.

The minor, a Grade 4 student, told police that he got mad when the victim, Salvacion Mallapre, allegedly accused him of stealing coconuts in her farm and that he bashed her head with a piece of stone several times.

Mallapre’s body was found half-buried in a forested portion of San Rafael village the other day. The young suspect has been turned over to the local social welfare office, police said.
