The victim was known to authorities
The daughter of a late British baron has been shot dead in Manila, police said, where authorities are fighting a deadly war on drugs.
Maria Aurora Moynihan’s body was found on the street on 10 September a sign reading “drug pusher to the celebrities you’re next!”.
The 45-year-old was on bail after being arrested in a drug raid in 2013.
Baron Anthony Moynihan was known for links to drug smuggling, fraud and prostitution in the Philippines.
“Witnesses told us they heard a series of gunshots, then saw a vehicle leaving the area,” Chief Inspector Tito Jay Cuden told AFP news. Authorities said packs of methamphetamine were found with her body.
A police investigation is ongoing.
Ms Moynihan was also the sister of Filipino celebrity Maritoni Fernandez. Their mother, who once ran a group of massage parlours, met Mr Moynihan after he fled to the Philippines following a string of fraud allegations against him in the UK.
