QUEZON City, Philippines (Eagle News) – Malacañang assured there would be a fair and thorough investigation into the killing of 17-year-old Kian de los Santos by the Caloocan police.
According to presidential spokesman Ernesto Abella, President Rodrigo Duterte himself said that the police who killed Kian will face charges if proven liable.
Abella made the assurance to the United States Embassy after US Ambassador Sung Kim visited the wake of De los Santos and asked the Duterte administration to give justice for the teenager’s death.
“My condolences go out to the family and friends of Kian. Hope that the investigations lead to full accountability,” Kim wrote on Twitter.
