Like sitting ducks, vital witnesses are being killed one-by-one in the gruesome 2009 Maguindanao Massacre in southern Philippines where 57 people including 34 journalists perished in a politically-related violence.
A Philippine
police official has confirmed that a potential witness in the
Maguindanao (south Philippines) massacre had been killed, a private
prosecutor said yesterday.
In all, six people¿three witnesses and three relatives of other
witnesses¿have been killed in connection with the trial of the
politically influential Ampatuan family accused in the Nov. 23, 2009
murders of 57 people, including the wife of the current Maguindanao
governor, Esmael Mangudadatu.
Nena Santos, a counsel of the Mangudadatus, said Senior
Superintendent Marcelo Pintac, the police director of Maguindanao, had
reported that Alijol Ampatuan was shot in Shariff Aguak, the provincial
capital, in February, and that he later died.
