✣ Leaked letter restarts ‘Amoris wars’
What happened?
A former assassin has accused the president of the Philippines, President Rodrigo Duterte, of ordering the killings of criminals and opponents while he was mayor of Davao City. Edgar Matobato, 57, told a nationally televised senate committee hearing that Duterte had sanctioned the killings and even personally “finished off” a justice department employee with a submachine gun. In this period, about 1,000 Davao residents were killed. A presidential spokesman denied the accusations.
