MANILA (The Straits Times/ANN): Even for Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, the sight of an off-duty policeman killing in cold blood a mother and a son she was desperately trying to protect was too brutal.
"I don't think that you can escape the rigours of justice because it was caught on TV. Even I am dumbfounded... That's unfair and too brutal," Duterte said during his televised Cabinet meeting on Monday night (Dec 21).
