Philippine cop jailed 40 years for killing South Korean man FMTNews FMTWorld
MANILA: A Philippine police officer has been jailed for up to 40 years for the kidnapping and killing of a South Korean businessman during former president Rodrigo Duterte’s drug war, court documents seen by AFP today show.
The case sparked fears of rogue police inside the force and led Duterte to briefly suspend police participation in his drug war, which killed thousands of people and is now under investigation by the International Criminal Court. The men were also convicted of abducting Jee’s Filipina maid, who was later freed unharmed, and of stealing the businessman’s vehicle.The court was told the kidnappers drove Jee in his own vehicle to police headquarters in Manila where he was strangled.Superintendent Rafael Dumlao, who was Santa Isabel’s superior in a nationwide anti-drugs task force and had been accused of masterminding the kidnapping and killing, was found not guilty.
