The comments were expressed on Facebook by an uncle of the girl, Eric Nolan, who said “I ran out of tears of sadness… all i have is hate….” Nolan’s post was re-posted by other facebook users, eliciting more about 100 comments from irate readers.
“These people [the murderers] have no souls!” cried one.
“Only devils can do such a thing,” said another.
Bacolod Bishop Vicente Navarra has called for justice for Alyanna, whose father comes from Bais City.
Police in Bacolod City said the girl died just minutes after her parents, Rachel Esguerra, 26, and Bernard Nolan, 27, of BS Aquino Drive, Bacolod City, rushed her to the Pablo O. Torre Memorial Hospital in Bacolod City for injuries all over her body.
Autopsy report showed that the girl’s kidneys and a vein on her head were damaged.
City Medico Legal Officer Eli Cong also told reporters in Bacolod that the girl may have been a victim of molestation as there were at least three old lacerations noted in her genitals.
Police charged Alyanna’s parents of Parricide last Thursday in Bacolod City.
In his pastoral letter read Sunday, Navarra said “parricide is not only a crime but also a sin.”
Navarra said he shared his prayers and sympathy with the six-year-old and all children who have gone through similar pain.
“I wish that the alleged perpetrators, her abusive parents, will be charged and justice must be served to this innocent child,” he said.
The bishop also appealed to government officials, police officers and the Christian Catholic faithful to respect and care for the dignity and the rights of children.
“The presence of children is not a burden but rather a blessing to the family, which we should treasure through parental love and guidance,” he said.
One mother, however, could not believe that the accused parents could do such a cruel act. “I refuse to believe that the parents did this, especially the mom,” chimed the mother in her facebook account, who promised to pray for the innocence of the suspects.
