“President Rodrigo Duterte said he was embarrassed that anti-drugs officers had abused their power to engage in kidnapping, leading to the death by strangulation of Jee Ick-joo, on the grounds of the national police headquarters. More than 7,000 people have been killed since Duterte, nicknamed ‘the punisher’, unleashed his bloody crackdown seven months ago, some 2,250 in police operations and the rest still mostly under investigation. His six-year term ends in 2022.”
