BACOLOD CITY – A young man died while two others, including a minor, were wounded after they were hacked by two men while attending a benefit dance party at Sitio Looc, Barangay Giligaon, Siaton in Negros Oriental on Thursday.
Killed was Jason Ramirez, 20, of Barangay Bonawon, according to police.
Wounded were Herjhon Ramirez, 22; and a 16-year-old boy whose name was withheld, both residents of Barangay Bonawon.
Investigation showed that the three victims figured in a commotion after the two suspects – Jerome Gainsan and Charles Darwin Sojor– got mad when the victims were able to dance first with the girls they like.
The suspects allegedly attacked Ramirez. His two companions tried to pacify them but they were also hacked.
The two suspects fled but they were later arrested. (Glazyl Masculino)
