Is redemption possible for a death squad assassin who said he has killed so many he has lost count? Thanks, @rapplerdotcom for running my story on Edgar Matobato.

I interviewed death squad assassin Edgardo Matobato in 2016. This is the story of how Catholic clergy, military mutineers and a former president helped keep him alive so he could tell his truth.
