Manila, Philippines – The Abu Sayyaf group has beheaded another Canadian hostage held on a southern Philippine island after ransom demands apparently were not met.

Robert Hall was confirmed dead on Monday by a military source who spoke to Al Jazeera on condition of anonymity prior to the official announcement.

“Today, Canadian kidnap victim identified as Robert Hall was beheaded by his abductor … the Abu Sayyaf group,” the military source said.

Abu Sayyaf spokesmen were phoning local media on Monday noting the deadline for Hall’s ransom had passed at 3pm local time (0700GMT) and he had been killed.
