Philippine police chief apologizes to South Korea in killing
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Philippine national police chief has apologized to South Korea over the death of a Korean man who was arrested illegally and then slain by members of an anti-drug task force at the main police camp in Manila.
Police Director-General Ronald Dela Rosa said the policemen detained Jee Ickjoo with a fake arrest warrant last October with the intent of holding him for ransom, but killed him the same day. He said they managed to extract a ransom payment from Jee's family without telling them Jee was dead.
He said one of the policemen has since surrendered.
