MANILA - The Philippine justice minister on Friday urged police to abort a manhunt of dozens of potentially dangerous convicts freed in error, fearing possible violence after the president offered big bounties to kill or capture them.
Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra wanted police to stand down after the midnight expiry of Duterte’s deadline for inmates to turn themselves in, as the number of those who reported to authorities roughly matched the 1,700 serious offenders freed. Duterte had offered a “prize” of a million pesos for each of the convicted murderers, rapists and drug offenders released in a corrections bureau blunder, and said he preferred them caught dead rather than alive.
