On Thursday, President Rodrigo Duterte apologised to South Korea for Jee’s death, saying he wanted to hang the rogue police allegedly responsible and send their heads to Seoul, Reuters reported.
He called again for the death penalty to be reinstated so that he could hang 20 criminals a day.
Duterte also promised the toughest punishment for those behind the kidnapping and killing of the businessman inside the national police headquarters in October.
The death of the South Korean comes as the Philippine police face growing criticism from rights groups and some lawmakers, who say cover-ups and abuses of police power are rampant. [Asian Correspondent]
