A retired teacher voluntarily went to Bombo Radyo Iloilo to confess that she killed her husband in Ilawod Poblacion, Zarraga, Iloilo.
The victim, identified as Eduardo Nodque, 61, was killed by his wife, Mary Joy Nodque, a 59-year-old retired teacher from the same area.
In an interview with Bombo Radyo, Mary Joy admitted to hitting her husband with a dumbbell, claiming that voices told her to do so.
She revealed that she had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and depression, and was taking medication for her condition.
Mary Joy alleged that it was these voices that urged her to strike her husband, who sustained a head injury from the blow.
After the incident, she immediately took a public jeepney to the Bombo Radyo Iloilo office to turn herself in.
Bombo Radyo Iloilo contacted the Iloilo City Police Station 1 to facilitate the formal turnover of the suspect to the authorities.
The Iloilo City Police assured that they would coordinate with the Zarraga Municipal Police Station to ensure the legal process is followed.
Bipolar disorder, previously known as manic depression, is a mental health condition that causes extreme mood swings, often leading to erratic behavior.
