Pregnant 21-year-old stabbed by boyfriend on her birthday

29 Dec, 2016

Mary Jane Hamtig was celebrating Christmas Eve and her 21st birthday when she suffered a tragic fate at the hands of her boyfriend.

According to a report by Philstar.com, the young woman, who was later confirmed to be pregnant, was stabbed 14 times by her 20-year-old boyfriend Michael Mendoza.

She was rushed to the New Era Hospital. Sadly, however, she was declared dead on arrival.

Mary Jane’s mother Marilyn is crying out for justice.  “Bilang ina, kulang ang buhay niya. Pero wala kaming magagawa, gusto lang naming magkaroon ng hustisya ang anak ko,” lamented the grieving mom in an interview with Philstar.com.

She recalled how they all heard mass at dawn on December 24 and went to the Quezon Memorial Circle. Little did she know that it would be the last Christmas she would be spending with her daughter.

On Christmas day, Michael himself surrendered to the police station, confessing to the crime. He recalls how he “blacked out” before stabbing Mary Jane with a sharp metal object in a jealous rage
