MANILA, Philippines — The Court of Appeals (CA) has reversed the acquittal of former police lieutenant colonel Rafael Dumlao as the mastermind of the kidnap-slay of South Korean businessman Jee Ick-joo in 2016.

On Oct. 18, 2016, barely four months into the new administration, South Korean businessman Jee Ick-joo was snatched from his home in Angeles, Pampanga and taken in his own vehicle to Camp Crame, headquarters of the Philippine National Police, where he was strangled to death inside the SUV.
