SYDNEY: -- A Melbourne man accused of killing a child and
orchestrating an international paedophile ring in the Philippines is
facing calls for his execution.
Peter Gerard Scully was arrested last week after the body of a teenage
girl was found buried under a house he rented in the Philippines.
Investigations revealed the 52-year-old had allegedly established a "pay
for view" scheme where clients from across the globe paid to
live-stream videos of children being tortured and sexually abused as per
their requests.
The outrage over Mr Scully in the Philippines comes as two other
Australians, Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, face execution in
Indonesia for drug smuggling.
The death penalty was suspended in the Philippines in 2006, but an
influential conservative politician says the Australian's alleged crimes
were so depraved he should be put to death.
