## Summary

Philippine police have obtained a court warrant to examine devices seized from Thomas Markle Sr’s former home in Cebu, after allegations that child sexual abuse images were found there. The investigation matters because officers must establish how the material was obtained before deciding whether criminal charges may be considered.

Four boxes containing computers, phones, hard drives and videotapes were handed to police by Markle’s son, Thomas Markle Jr, last week. Markle Sr, 82, who is now in a Florida rehabilitation centre, strongly denies the allegations; his son says he wants the case investigated. Meghan Markle said she was deeply distressed and that her thoughts were with any children who may have been harmed.
