Based on the investigation conducted by the Gingoog City Police Station, the suspect used a hammer to kill his children. Police said the father claimed he acted out of deep pity for the condition of his two PWD children. This explanation, however, has become a point of contention as the case continues to unfold.

Relatives of the victims strongly denied the suspect’s claim. Family members insisted that the father had long shown a lack of care and concern for his two children, contradicting the assertion that the act was motivated by compassion. They described a history of neglect, raising questions about the true circumstances that led to the violent incident.

Part of the investigation involves examining the family’s history, with particular focus on possible mental health concerns within their lineage. Police emphasized that understanding the broader context is essential to determining accountability and preventing similar tragedies in the future.

In light of the incident, law enforcement officials urged the public to seek professional help if they notice unusual changes in the emotional or mental health of family members. They stressed the importance of early intervention and open communication within households.

Meanwhile, relatives of the victims are appealing for financial assistance to help cover funeral arrangements for the two siblings, as well as other related expenses. The community continues to grieve as calls for justice and greater mental health awareness grow louder.
