British baron’s daughter shot dead in Philippines for pushing drugs
The daughter of a late British baron has been killed in the Philippines which is fighting a war on drugs.
Maria Aurora Moynihan’s body was found on the street on 20 September next to a sign reading “drug pusher to the celebrities you’re next!”
Baron Anthony Moynihan was linked to drug smuggling, fraud and prostitution.
More than 3,000 people with alleged links to drug use or dealing have been killed since President Rodrigo Duterte came to power in June.
Mr Duterte, who once promised to kill 100,000 criminals, has brushed off criticism of the bloody crackdown, including by the UN, which said the killings could be crimes under international law, the US, and numerous human rights bodies.
