MANILA, Jan. 24 (Xinhua) -- Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte apologized Tuesday to the government and people of South Korea including the wife of a South Korean business executive, who was kidnapped and killed by alleged rouge policemen.
Presidential spokesman Ernesto Abella said the president also sent his and the Filipino people's condolences and sympathies to the wife of the victim, and assured that the full force of the law would be meted out against those responsible for the kidnap-slaying of the victim.
"We apologize to the South Korean government and people for this irreparable loss. But we commit the full force of the law to ensure that justice is served and not delayed. To the Korean people, please accept our sincerest and deepest regrets," Abella said.
The victim was reportedly serving a fake warrant by the rogue policemen in October last year and had not been heard of since.
