The latest report said that a 38-year-old man was shot dead by his girlfriend’s father, who allegedly mistook him for a thief inside their home in Barangay Liptong, Valencia, Negros Oriental, on Wednesday. Police Lt. Stephen Polinar, spokesperson for the Negros Oriental Police Provincial Office (Norppo), said the victim had spent the night at his girlfriend’s house without the knowledge of her 80-year-old father.

According to police, the suspect was shocked to see a man sleeping beside his 36-year-old daughter when he woke up past midnight, prompting him to grab a firearm. The father and daughter were sleeping in separate beds but shared the same bedroom, as they were the only ones living in the house. The victim reportedly woke up suddenly, and the suspect allegedly shot him, causing his immediate death.

The suspect later surrendered to authorities and admitted to the shooting, though no extrajudicial confession was executed before legal counsel. The family of the victim wants to press charges against the criminal but the girlfriend f the victim didn't cooperate. It might be because her father is so old to be jailed. The case is still ongoing and the criminal is jailed and awaiting a verdict.

If the girl and the late boyfriend had done things the right way instead of seaking around, this would have not happened.

Since they were sleeping in one bedroom despite sleeping on separate beds, it should have been better for the girlfriend to introduced her boyfriend to his dad. She could be blamed too.

What kind of man even goes to spend the night with his girlfriend in her father's house? That's an insult.

The girlfriend caused the death of the man. She should have introduced the guy to her dad if the guy had to sleep over.

The suspect only defended their lives for a possible mischief not knowing he was the boyfriend of his daughter. The victim should have asked permission to the girls father to avoid such mishap. That might also be his fate. May he rest in peace.

The girl is already mature in her mid-30s and also her boyfriend. The young people are better than them in disposition. The daughter should have used her commonsense. Se knew well her dad owns a gun.
