It was in October when the cops took him: Jee Ick Joo, South Korean businessman, dragged out of his Angeles City home by police officers on a pretend drug bust waving a fake arrest warrant. They took him to the national police headquarters. They watched him strangled by an anti-drug unit cop armed with a roll of packing tape and surgical gloves. They demanded a P5-million ransom, and then P3 million more, all after the corpse was cremated and flushed down a toilet in exchange for P30,000 and a set of the victim's own golf clubs.
