Suspect in Philippines Massacre Gives Himself Up – WSJ.com
A prominent clan member who emerged as the primary suspect in the massacre of at least 57 people in the southern Philippines this week surrendered to authorities for questioning over the country's worst act of political violence.
Andal Ampatuan Jr., a local town mayor, turned himself in to presidential adviser Jesus Dureza on Thursday after two days of negotiations. He told reporters that he didn't play any role in Monday's killing of members of a rival political clan and 18 journalists as the group prepared to file candidacy papers for a rival politician, Ismael Mangudadatu, for a gubernatorial election in strife-torn Maguindanao province.
