Philippines: More victims found after convoy massacre



Police in the Philippines say 11 more bodies have been recovered from a mass grave in the country’s south, raising the number of massacre victims to 35.

Chief Superintendent Josefino Cataluna today said more bodies are expected to be recovered in a remote hilly area in southern Ampatuan township where supporters of a local politician and journalists travelling in a convoy were seized by dozens of gunmen yesterday.

Police said the convoy of about 40 people was going to register Mangudadatu, vice mayor of the Buluan township, to run for provincial governor when they were stopped.

Soldiers and police later found 24 bodies, including those of Mangudadatu’s wife, Genalyn, and his two sisters, sprawled on the ground or shot in their vehicles.
