The South Cotabato Provincial Police Office identified the suspect as Marilou Manansala Bayno.
Bayno was immediately arrested by responding personnel of the Koronadal City Police, acting on reports from neighbors and barangay officials.
In an initial report to the SCPPO, the Koronadal City Police Office said probers and forensic experts have found out that Bayno repeatedly stabbed her toddler niece with a knife in the abdomen, causing the child’s death.
