17-year-old girl shot dead for drug dealing in Philippines

A teenage girl has been shot dead by unknown gunmen in Philippines for drug dealing. The deceased was found lying in the street with her blood-stained Barbie doll making her the latest victim of the Philippines war on drugs, reports say. She was shot dead alongside her older friend by unknown motorcycle-riding gunmen in an alley in Manila.
Her shooters left a cardboard sign on the body of her 21-year-old male friend with the message 'You are a drug pusher, you are an animal'. Meanwhile, after investigation by the Philippines police on getting to the scene, they now believe the girl may have been an innocent victim caught up in the shooting when the gunman tried to target her male friend.

Pictures from the scene show the bloodstained teenager, lying dead on the ground outside a house in a dark street. Other images show officers gathering up her belongings, which also includes a Hello Kitty watch as her relatives stood weeping and devastated by the incident.
