Investigators have found two apparent murder victims on real estate properties owned by a political clan accused of the country’s worst massacre, Justice Secretary Leila de Lima said Sunday.

Forensics experts found the skeletons in shallow graves on Friday at a grassy field and a corn plantation owned by the Ampatuan clan in Maguindanao province, De Lima said.

She said the two were believed to be past murder victims of the Ampatuan clan, which is also accused of carrying out the killings of 57 people in November 2009 in Maguindanao, a poor province that the clan had controlled for a decade. - PDI
