MANILA, Philippines â€" A 32-year-old teacher from Iligan City killed her 5-year-old son by poisoning and then hanged herself inside a hotel in Quezon City, the city’s homicide police chief reported Thursday.

Supt. Marcelino Pedrozo said that based on the suicide note left by Cheryl Buhion-Casan, she decided to kill her son, Brylle, and take her own life due to depression, when she learned that her husband was involved with another woman.

Pedrozo said the suicide note was found on the desk near the hotel bed.

Police also said that the note indicated that they just recently arrived in Manila to supposedly spend Christmas as a family.

Pedrozo said the victim’s husband refused to take them and informed her of the other woman.

The letter also said the husband refused his wife’s plea to let her and their son to stay in his house here, Pedrozo said.

The bodies of Casan and her son, police said, were discovered by the hotel staff at around 12:45 in the afternoon on Wednesday.

“The hotel staff decided to open the victims’ door when no one answered their repeated knocks,” he said.

He added that based on the investigation, the victims just arrived from the province and checked into Sogo Hotel in Novaliches on Tuesday morning.

He further said the child was found lying on the bed with his mouth frothing.

The initial report of the Scene of the Crime Operatives said “the boy could be poisoned or had been given a drug overdose.”

The mother was found hanging in the comfort room with a nylon rope looped around her neck and with the other end tied to the iron shower.(inquirer.net)

Father God of Mercy and Compassion. This is a terrible news. I can't just imagine the pain. It's unthinkable.

Ngano man intawong gidamay ang bata. Ngano? Maayo gyud unta ug ang mother naay masultihan sa iyang problema ug matambagan.

Lord Jesus, have mercy on us mortals.

na-usik nga kinabuhi, let us pray for this.

The bodies of Cheryl Casan and her five-year old son, Brylle, remained unclaimed in a funeral parlor in Manila, a police official said.

Superintendent Marcelino Pedrozo Jr., chief of the Homicide Investigation Section of the Quezon City Police District, said that although some people had called up the Prudential funeral parlor and claimed they were relatives of Casan, they had yet to show up to get the bodies.

Casan, a 32-year-old teacher from Iligan City, allegedly poisoned her son and then hanged herself inside a hotel in Quezon City due to depression over her husband's alleged extra-marital affairs.

“As of yesterday morning the remains of the victim and her son were still at the funeral parlor in Manila and still unclaimed. But a man who identified himself as the brother called to take the body,'' Pedrozo said.

He added that the relatives of the deceased were expected to arrive from Iligan City in Mindanao.

Pedrozo said that police could not arrest the woman’s husband as there simply were no grounds to do so.

“There's no legal basis to arrest him but we would like to talk to him about some matters regarding the death of the victims,'' Pedrozo said.

“If the relatives have reservations on the cause of the death, they can request for another autopsy of the bodies,'' he added.

Pedrozo said that he was still waiting for the laboratory results to determine the kind of poison given to the boy.

Casan and her son were found dead by the staff of Sogo Hotel in Novaliches, Quezon City, on Wednesday. The mother and child checked into the hotel on Tuesday morning.

The staff found the boy on the bed with his mouth frothing, while the mother was found hanging by the neck in the shower.

A suicide note apparently written by Casan was found beside a table, police said.
