Probe of Duterte link to death squad ended

The investigation of the Department of Justice (DOJ) on the alleged use by Mayor Rodrigo Duterte of the notorious Davao Death Squad to kill the criminals and other enemies of the local state of Davao City has been practically put to an end.

Acting Justice Sec. Emmanuel Caparas on Friday told reporters that the investigation would not proceed to conclusion, in contrast to the original objective of the DOJ probe, since the witness has already been excluded from the Witness Protection Program (WPP). Caparas refused to elaborate.
