Police authorities have intensified their manhunt against the suspects in a robbery that resulted in the death of a baby girl and the wounding of her parents in a remote village here Wednesday night.
During the robbery incident, police said Nasrudin Odis, 41, and his wife Faidza, 35, were critically wounded, while their three-month-old daughter was killed. The couple's other daughter, Normina, 18, escaped unhurt.
Senior Inspector Donald Cabigas, Pigcawayan police chief, said two to three men armed with hard wood and round bar barged inside the house of the Odis family at about 2 a.m. Wednesday in Barangay Simsiman, this town.
"We suspect it was a case of robbery-turned-murder when the father was awakened and fought it out with the suspects," Cabigas said.
Cabigas said the suspects hit the victims with hard wood and round bar before fleeing with P6,000 cash and jewelry amounting to P25,000.
He said the couple's house was made of concrete materials but only has temporary doors and windows where the suspects gained entry.
