Philippine police obtain warrant to search Thomas Markle's devices

Philippine police have obtained a warrant to examine devices seized from the former home of Thomas Markle, father of the Duchess of Sussex.

Earlier this month, it was reported that hundreds of images of child sexual abuse allegedly belonging to Thomas Markle Sr., 82, had been found at the property in the Philippines.

Four boxes of material, including computers, phones, hard drives and old videotapes, were handed to police by Meghan Markle's half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr., last week. However, officers in Cebu needed a court warrant before they could examine the items.

Thomas Markle Sr., who is now in the US, has strongly denied the allegations made by his son, describing them as "sick lies".
