The chief suspect in the killing of at least 57 people in the southern Philippines has turned himself in to local authorities.
Andal Ampatuan Jr, a local mayor and member of a powerful political clan in the Maguindanao province, says he surrendered to prove his innocence.
But Al Jazeera later spoke to a man who said he was there when the killings happened, and he laid the blame squarely on Ampatuan Jr.
Marga Ortigas reports from Maguindanao.
