The daughter of the notorious runaway peer, the 3rd Lord Moynihan has been shot dead in the Philippines amid the country’s increasingly bloody war on drugs.

A body found dumped in a Manila street last weekend was identified as that of Aurora Moynihan, the daughter of the playboy baron Tony Moynihan, who fled to the Philippines in late 1960s facing a string of fraud allegations in the UK.

Police said the 45-year-old, whose sister Maritoni Fernandez is a well-known actress, was found with sachets of drugs and next to a cardboard sign reading “drug pusher to the celebrities you are next.”
