Emergency Random stabbings in Dumaguete

Not Fake

Dumaguete City Police chief Lieutenant Colonel Gregorio Galsim on Tuesday assured residents that the police are "on top of the situation" amid the series of drive-by stabbings in the city last weekend.

In an interview, Galsim said they have intensified patrols in the entire city and asked Dumagueteños to remain vigilant.

At the same time, he urged netizens not to share unverified information on the stabbings as it may cause unnecessary panic.

Three stabbing incidents victimizing young men were confirmed by police last Saturday, July 20. The victims were identified as 20-year-old Nico Enumerabellon, 19-year-old Jose Pocholo Tangente, and 21-year-old Adrian Magalso.

Initial police investigation on the Saturday stabbing showed that all three confirmed victims were stabbed by assailants aboard motorcycles at Rizal Boulevard and Escaño Beach. Three unidentified perpetrators, also in motorcycles, approached them stabbed them once each before speeding away.

Mayor Felipe Antonio Remollo on Monday met with Galsim and other police officials to discuss the incidents, and assured the public that they are doing their best to keep the city a safe place. —LDF, GMA News

The stabbing suspect has been shot.

 

and shot again, then stabbed.

 

May I ask if these guys where apprehended in the end?

 

Turns out that it was all done by one guy actually who got shot and killed recently by unknown assailants

 

One teenager who was rumored to be one of the assailants was murdered vigilante-style.

 

So this teenager, stabbing 3 other teenagers, was probably some internal fight among teenagers. Meaning the victims where not random people.

 

Don't think so, he just randomly rode around stabbing people.

his demise not so random, methinks.
