5-year-old child found dead in Argao, Cebu.** The victim was last seen with his 8-year-old cousin.**
According to the report, the children said they would go looking for small crabs near the house. When the mother asked where her child was, the cousin could not answer properly. As a result, the barangay conducted a search operation.
The child was found dead in a stream near their home with a wound to the neck. Police said it appeared a cutter was used in the crime.
The mother remembered that her cousin always carried the cutter, so she is now the prime suspect. The motive behind the incident is currently being investigated.
