(5 Mar 2017) Philippines troops on Saturday recovered the remains of a German hostage, who was killed by Muslim militants last week.
Juergen Gustav Kantner was beheaded by Abu Sayyaf militants in the southern jungles after a ransom deadline lapsed last Sunday.
The Abu Sayyaf claimed in November that it had kidnapped Kantner and killed a woman sailing with him off neighbouring Malaysia's Sabah state.
Villagers later found a dead woman on a yacht with the German flag off Laparan Island in Sulu province in the southern Philippines.
The Abu Sayyaf is holding more than 20 foreign and local hostages in its jungle encampments in the southern Philippines.
They beheaded two Canadian men last year after separate ransom deadlines lapsed.
