Drunk Filipino nails wife's mouth shut, kills her

MANILA, July 19 (Reuters) - A drunken Filipino farmer nailed his wife's mouth shut and beat her to death in front of their children, then prepared breakfast for her the next day without realising he had killed her, police said on Monday.

Police called to the house of Rodolfo and Vilma Porras in the town of Manapla, in the central Philippines, on Saturday found the 40-year-old woman dead in her bed with one-inch (two cm) nails driven through her mouth and the back of both knees.

Police officer Eliseo Solaban said two of the couple's four children, a girl aged 10 and a boy of eight, told investigators their father beat their mother to death with an iron and drenched her with boiling water after coming home drunk.

The girl was still in shock, Solaban said by telephone.


Porras, 40, was on the run on Monday. The man awoke on the morning after Friday's killing and cooked breakfast as normal, then fled after realising his wife was dead, the policeman said.


"I've worked on shocking crimes before, but I can't hide how I feel about a man doing this to his wife," Solaban said.

Geez....

I can't comment on this right now. It's too disturbing

When caught, the man who killed his wife deserves a slow and agonizing....wait...agonizing is not strong enough....

gawin sa kanya yung ginawa niya sa asawa niya!!!

i heard this over the news last night..never thought it would reach reuters...kakahiya!

I feel really bad for the kids to watch their mom get killed by their father.  

Talk about disturbed people... Man how do these people live like that...

I feel sorry for both the mother and her children grabe...

Probably if I were one of the kids I'd swear revenge for what the father did to m own mother in front of our own eyes.

How inhumane can one get?!!

A little alcohol definitely goes a long way.

Kawawa mga bata lalo na yung wife

my God asawa nya yun.....wala ba shang consensya?

True or False.  Someone said on Vegasdrift.com that "this happens quite often in philippines".  

kung true man baka reffering to drunk people getting violent, seems to be a highly occuring thing here

this incident? definitely not...

probably the wife is a nagger/bungangera and that gave the drunkard a sadistic idea of nailing her mouth.

I can imagine what if the wife cheated on him.... he would probably nail somthing else other than her mouth...

I think these kinds of ideas should not be entertained at all...

nakakaawa naman yung mother and the kids. dami talaga pwede mangyari pag lasing ka.
