A couple residing in barangay San Isidro, Tagbilaran City, was shocked when an unidentified man armed with a knife barged into their residence 2 a.m. Thursday.

The suspect, Alvin Torreon, 18, a resident of Liboron, Catigbian, Bohol, gained entrance through the comfort room of the house.

Believing that the husband, Levi Bacus, 31, was in Cebu, the suspect thought the wife, Jane, 27, was left in the house.

Surprised on the presence of the husband, Torreon stabbed Levi several times causing severed bleeding.

The suspect later attacked the wife causing injuries in her shoulder and arm.

Levi was rushed to the Gov. Celestino Gallares Regional Hospital where he expired few hours after admission.

Jane said the suspect immediately fled their house after the assault.

Torreon surrendered last Friday to the Balilihan PNP.

He was positively identified by Jane who is now recuperating in a city hospital.

Torreon is now detained at the Tagbilaran PNP lock-up jail while charges of murder, frustrated murder and serious physical injury will be filed against him. (The Bohol Chronicle, June 17, 2007)

tinuod, dili gyud ka kompyansahan ang atong katilingban karon. bisag unsa ka buotan sa bol-anan, naa juy motulibagbag.

on another note and in fairness to Torreon who is the prime suspect in this case, it would have been better if the tone of the news was such that Torreon was presumed innocent. guilty naman kaayo si Torreon sa pagkastorya sa balita. the news was telling us 'Torreon' did it, etc etc - which should not have been the case kay dili pa proven - suspect pa lang siya, as the news story says. let this be a lesson to the news writer.

thanks for the post - it's very informative, nonetheless =)

true, but adding the word 'allegedly', or a similar word, would have significantly made the story more fair to Torreon. for all we know, Jane's story could not have been that accurate considering the trauma she went through. the tone of the story was too conclusive, ie, as if everything happened just as told by Jane, or the news for that matter
