A key witness to the massacre of 57 people in the Philippines last year has been shot dead, a prosecutor says.


Suwaib Upham had admitted to being one of the gunmen who took part in the Maguindanao attack.

He had agreed to testify against members of the Ampatuan family, who are on trial for ordering the killings.

Since admitting his part in the murders, Mr Upham had repeatedly asked for witness protection but had yet to receive any government help.
