Third teen dead, Philippines seethes at Duterte drug war

Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte was elected promising to wage war on drugs, but outrage has built at a trio of teen killings in the past month.

Manila (AFP) - A 14-year-old boy whose body was found with dozens of stab wounds is the latest atrocity in Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's drug war, critics said Wednesday as outrage built at a trio of teen killings.

The National Bureau of Investigation announced it would probe the murder of the boy, who politicians and rights groups said appeared to be the third teenager murdered as part of Duterte's drug war in the past month.
