A self-confessed assassin who testified to being in a “death squad” under Philippine leader Rodrigo Duterte will soon file a case at the International Criminal Court accusing the president of crimes against humanity, his lawyer said on Tuesday.
Two men have testified before the Senate saying they were part of an alleged hit squad in Davao they said killed at Duterte’s behest. Legislators found no proof of their testimony, which the president’s aides dismiss as fabrication. The ICC case will come from Edgar Matobato, who came out of hiding last week and testified in September to have killed more than 50 people in the Davao area.
