A MAN who took hostage his son-in-law was shot dead by policemen in Tondo district in Manila Wednesday night.

 

A radio report said that the suspect, identified as Joubert Delfino, grabbed his seven-year-old son-in-law inside a temporary housing building in Tondo around 10 p.m.

 

Delfino, who was declared dead at the Gat Andres Bonifacio Memorial Hospital, reportedly threatened to kill the boy.

 

The boy’s relatives said Delfino deserved what happened to him as he has also been raping the boy’s elder sister.
