Pro-police President Duterte calls killings of woman and son by off-duty cop in Philippines 'too brutal'

MANILA - 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," Mr Duterte said during his televised Cabinet meeting on Monday night (Dec 21).
Police reports said the scuffle began after Mr Gregorio set off an air cannon made out of a PVC pipe, creating loud noises, and deteriorated into a heated argument over a land dispute.
