<p>Military spokesman Brigadier General Restituto Padilla said the dead include a group of four men, three women and a child who were found near a road close to the Mindanao State University in Marawi. Police said eight other men were fatally shot and thrown in a shallow ravine in Marawi&#8217;s Emi village. A paper sign attached to one of the men indicated the victims &#8220;betrayed their faith&#8221;.</p>
<p>Brig Gen Padilla said 61 militants have been killed together with 11 soldiers and four police since Tuesday, when a failed raid to capture one of Asia&#8217;s top militants triggered an attack on the city.</p>
