A security guard died by suicide after shooting himself in Brgy. Tinago, Naga City.
The deceased was identified as Erick B. Canades, a resident of Balatas in the same city.
In an interview with Bombo Radyo Naga, PSSGT. Robert Aguillon, Assistant Public Information Officer of the Naga City Police Office, stated that Canades suddenly shot himself while talking to his fellow guard.
According to the account of a colleague, Noel Taburnal Pontaran, while he was on duty at their post, Canades suddenly returned, took their service firearm (a caliber 9mm), and immediately took his own life by shooting himself.
Police officers immediately responded to the incident and discovered that before the suicide, the victim was allegedly responsible for stabbing his wife.
According to the official, Canades and his wife had a heated argument that resulted in the security guard stabbing her.
The official added that the couple had long been having marital problems due to intense jealousy.
After the stabbing, Canades immediately fled, and the following morning, he committed suicide.
Based on the investigation, it appears that the security guard felt he had no other option after the crime he committed, which led him to take his own life.
