COTABATO CITY, Philippines — A pregnant 17-year-old died after her husband attacked her with a kitchen knife in Barangay Pinaring in Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao del Norte on Sunday.

Lt. Col. Hector Tanio Jr., Sultan Kudarat police chief, said 21-year-old Akmad Abag was disarmed by residents and yielded to barangay officials.

Tanio said witnesses heard Abag shouting invectives at his wife before the incident.

Some of the couple’s relatives claimed Abag is addicted to shabu and marijuana.
