Philippines ‘witness’ recounts killings in Maguindanao
November 27th, 2009 by aldrinv
The chief suspect in the killing of at least 57 people in the southern Philippines has turned himself in to local authorities.
Andal Ampatuan Jr, a local mayor and member of a powerful political clan in the Maguindanao province, says he surrendered to prove his innocence.
But Aljazeera later spoke to a man who said he was there when the killings happened, and he laid the blame squarely on Ampatuan Jr.
