Three-year-old Natalie Magno stared bewildered at the crowd outside her family home in the Filipino capital, Manila, as she clung to her grandmother. Her soft brown hair still ruffled after being pulled from her bed at 2.30am, she did not yet know that her father was dead.

A few metres away, just out of sight, her father Jeremiah’s red blood ran, stark and fresh, down a potholed lane. Minutes earlier his body had been stretchered off, wrapped in a stained white sheet.

Three bullets had felled the 32 year old construction worker as he sat on a dark street corner in the slum district of Masville late on Monday night.

Mr Magno, a user of methamphetamine, had become the latest victim in Filipino President Rodrigo Duterte’s vicious war on drugs.
