Former Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte's war on drugs has left families in agony following thousands of killings, as Sky's Asia correspondent Cordelia Lynch reports.

More than 6,000 people were killed in Duterte's brutal campaign to purge the country of illegal drugs, and those associated with them, after he won the election in 2016. Some estimates put the figure at closer to 30,000.
