Court for ex-Marine accused in Philippines murders

Authorities seeking the extradition of a former U.S. Marine arrested last month in upstate New York say they have linked him to guns used in a double killing in 2011 in the Philippines.

Authorities seeking the extradition of a former U.S. Marine arrested last month in upstate New York say they have linked him to guns used in a double killing in 2011 in the Philippines.

The security guard who witnessed the fatal assault on US Marine Maj. George Anikow in Makati City testified in court on Thursday, recounting the predawn “rumble” between the American and four Filipino men.

His assignment as an executive officer in war-torn Afghanistan didn’t quite prepare George Anikow, 41, for his encounter with four Volvo-riding young men outside a high-class neighborhood in Makati City.
