Alleged ‘Nangungutang’ Suspect Stabs Transwoman Inside Her Own Salon

Nowadays, murder has been one of the most common types of crimes not only in the Philippines but also in various regions all across the globe. It also causes fear and trauma among some individuals.
The Philippine government and authorities have been imposing stricter rules and regulations but the rate of criminality continues to increase despite those efforts. The public had been advised to take precautionary measures and be vigilant when traveling outside their home.

The police officers were able to arrest the suspect who eventually admitted the crime. The suspect explained that the victim allegedly tried to abuse him but Torres family denied the accusations against the latter.
