Officers charged in Philippine teen's drug war 'murder'

Three Philippine police officers and an informer were charged Monday with murdering a teenager in a case which highlighted alleged extrajudicial killings during President Rodrigo Duterte's anti-drugs war. Authorities say they have killed 3,987 suspects in "self-defence" in anti-drug operations since Duterte came to power in mid-2016. Kian delos Santos, 17, was shot dead during a night-time anti-drug sweep by Manila police last year.
