ILOILO City – In Pototan, Iloilo, a man was killed after trying to hurt a family.

Joseph Fernando, 36, of Barangay Cauayan died of multiple gunshot wounds.

He was suffering from nervous breakdown, police said.

Police identified his shooter as Dionisio Pelaez of Barangay Batuan.

Pelaez’s sister Nelly was one of those Fernando tried to harm, said Pototan police station investigator Raffy Gonzales.
While at the compound of Nelly in Barangay Batuan around 5:45 p.m. on July 21, Fernando suddenly went berserk, pulled out a knife and tried to attack Nelly and her family.

This prompted Nelly to seek help from his brother Dionisio, who lives a few meters away, Gonzales said.

When Dionisio arrived, Fernando tried to stab him but the latter fired at him several times using a .45-caliber pistol.
Fernando expired while undergoing treatment at the Iloilo Provincial Hospital in Pototan.

Dionisio surrendered to the municipal police station and turned over his gun./PN
