An 11-year-old girl is fighting for her life on Thursday after she was allegedly beaten and repeatedly stabbed by an underaged playmate inside an abandoned house in Arayat, Pampanga last week.  The victim, identified only as &quot;Nena&quot;, is a Grade 5 student. The suspect, &quot;Justine”, is a 14-year-old boy classified as a Child in Conflict with the Law (CICL).According to a police report, the incident occurred in Brgy. Paralaya at around noon of May 22 and was reported to authorities the following day through barangay officials.Initial investigation revealed that the suspect allegedly lured the victim into the abandoned house after inviting her to see a dead dog inside the property.Police said that upon entering the structure, the victim was suddenly struck on the head with an empty glass bottle. The boy then allegedly attacked her with broken glass, repeatedly stabbing her and inflicting seven wounds on her back.Authorities said the suspect allegedly forced the victim to swallow stones in an attempt to prevent her from screaming or calling for help.But because the victim fought back and the suspect panicked, CCTV footage showed that he himself called for people to help. He then claimed that he had only found the victim.The severely injured child was rushed to a hospital in San Fernando, Pampanga, where she remains under intensive medical care.Meanwhile, the case has been turned over to the Arayat Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office (MSWDO) for proper intervention and disposition in accordance with laws involving minors.Authorities continue to investigate the incident.<div> </div><div>OTHER STORIES:</div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/regions/2026/5/27/toddler-found-dead-in-mt-province-2-minors-admitted-to-crime-0849">Toddler found dead in Mt.
