(March 21, 2025) – A man was found dead inside his house in Brgy. Buhangin in Davao City with a knife still lodged in his neck, local authorities said on Friday.
Davao City Police said Constancio Lom-oc, a former seafarer, was struck in the head with a metal pipe before being fatally stabbed.
Lom-oc’s houseboy of 15 years, Jason Capisnon, was tagged as the suspect.
They were the only ones in the house when the incident occurred as the victim’s wife and children were in Manila.
“Itong suspek ay pinatawag sa barangay kasi may complaint sa isa sa boarders ng victim na namboboso. Hindi um-attend sa hearing itong suspek kaya ang victim, as employer, siya ‘yung um-attend. After siguro um-attend ‘yung biktima, pinagalitan niya ‘yung suspek. Isa siguro ito sa rason kung bakit nagalit ‘yung suspek sa biktima,” said Davao City Police spokesperson Capt. Hazel Caballero-Tuazon.
Capisnon fled the scene after allegedly taking P50,000 in cash from the victim.
Authorities recovered the knife and metal pipe used in the crime.
The victim’s son urged the Capisnon to surrender.
“Kung ano man ang totoong nangyari dapat magpaliwanang siya. Kung hindi siya guilty, bakit hindi siya nagpapakita? Ang kailangan namin ay makita siya para makamit namin ang hustisya,” said the victim’s son.
Capisnon is facing murder charges.
