A SON of the governor of a southern Philippine province today surrendered himself to the authorities after he and his family clan are tagged as prime suspects in Monday's massacre of at least 57 unarmed civilians.
Andal Ampatuan Jr., son of Maguindanao Governor Andal Ampatuan Sr. and mayor of Unsay town, is now in custody after military took over the provincial capitol and two municipality halls in the province, government officials said.
"Datu Unsay is now on board an Air Force chopper en route to General Santos city to be turned over to Justice Undersecretary Devanadera," an official with the Office of Presidential Advisor on Mindanao Affairs Jesus Dureza said.
