    AN AUSTRALIAN teacher and head of an international school in China charged over the alleged sex abuse of four Filipino children as young as nine has been found hanged inside a jail on the Philippine island of Cebu.

    "Help me pass quietly," Hilton Reece Munro, 46, wrote on a piece of paper hours before his body was found in his cell.

    In another undated handwritten letter to a friend in jail, Mr Munro wrote: "Help me find a painless end to my life."

    The front page of the Cebu Daily News records Hilton Reece Munro's arrest in the Philippines in July 2013.

    Mr Munro had been a teacher at Melbourne's prestigious Scotch College and head of the Zhuhai International School in Zhuhai City in China's Guangdong province, leaving that position shortly before he was arrested in the Philippines in July 2013.

    Police alleged Mr Munro used a 14-year-old boy to recruit younger boys who were sexually abused at a beach resort hotel in Cebu. The island has been identified as a centre for international paedophile rings.

    Not really sure what to make of this. Not enough information to really tell what happened.

    Fairly old case I believe so I guess some research will be needed to catch up on this. I honestly can't remember this one.

    I don't either. Being accused and being found guilty are two different things.....but being in the Filipino justice system and a Filipino jail is depressing either way you look at it. The facts will probably never be known.
