An 84-year-old businesswoman from Floridablanca, Pampanga, passed away after her former employee was found to be hooked on an illegal substance, ended her life, and took advantage of her body.
According to Floridablanca PNP, the victim was an elderly stroke patient who was already bedridden when the incident happened.
The investigation found that the suspect, Alex Banez, 26 years old, was a former employee of the victim’s hardware.
At first, Banez only planned to take the belongings of the victim, but he suddenly decided to do more vile things as he saw the bedridden old woman.
The authorities recovered two mobile phones, wallets, and the knife used by the suspect on the victim.
Meanwhile, Banez said that he was not aware of what he did.
“Hindi ko na po alam ‘yung gagawin ko, tapos may sumigaw pang mga tao na ‘magnanakaw.'” said Banez. “Sana mapatawad po niya ako,”
The suspect was facing multiple serious charges that may put him behind bars permanently.
