Woman hangs self

By RUBY P. SILUBRICO

ILOILO City — A woman suffering from a family problem hanged herself inside the house of her lover in Zone 9, Brgy. Calumpang, Molo district here yesterday.

Rena Cobar, 19, of Sipalay City, Negros Occidental, was taken to Iloilo Doctors’ Hospital but was declared dead on arrival.

SPO1 Rosmar Deanon of the Molo police station said the mother of her lover found Cobar with a blanket around her neck at around 11 a.m.

Deanon said the victim’s lover, Peter John Morga, was not around at the time.

Cobar was living with her sister in Lapuz. A misunderstanding had earlier ensued between them.

Cobar then left the house and went to his lover’s house in December last year.

“Probably, a family feud or family problem triggered her to commit suicide. When she was young, her mother left them; she never saw her again,” Deanon said.

Still, police were investigating whether or not there was foul play./PN
