A 14-year-old Grade 10 student died after sustaining a stab wound to the neck early Monday in Baliwag City.
According to police reports, the victim was found by her mother lying in a pool of blood inside her room and was later declared dead on arrival at the hospital.
A teacher identified only as Dax, who was reportedly inside the room when the victim was discovered, has been taken into police custody for investigation.
Authorities said the teacher was staying at the victim’s residence in Barangay Subic, although it remains unclear whether he was a tenant or related to the family.
The Philippine National Police has sought assistance from the Bulacan provincial forensic unit as the investigation continues.
