菲律賓總統杜特爾特自曝曾當街開槍殺嫌犯

Philippines' President Rodrigo Duterte has admitted he personally killed criminal suspects as mayor of Davao.

菲律賓總統羅德里戈·杜特爾特日前承認，自己在擔任達沃市市長期間曾親手殺死過犯罪嫌疑人。

It is the first such admission he has made since becoming president in June, but echoes comments he made in 2015.

這是他在今年6月成爲總統以來第一次這樣承認，但這也與他在2015年的評論相呼應。

He ran the southern city for two decades, earning a reputation for cutting crime, and criticism for allegedly supporting death squads.

羅德里戈·杜特爾特管理達沃這座南方城市長達二十年，在減少犯罪方面贏得了聲譽，但因支持敢死隊而受到批評。

It is the latest in a series of controversial and sometimes contradictory comments by Mr Duterte.

本次的這一言論是他一系列有爭議、有時自相矛盾的評論中最新的一則。

"In Davao I used to do it personally. Just to show to the guys that if I can do it why can't you," he said.

他說：“在達沃，我以前經常自己動手--就爲讓那些傢伙們（警察）知道，我都能做，你爲什麼不能。”

"And I'd go around in Davao with a motorcycle, with a big bike around, and I would just patrol the streets, looking for trouble also. I was really looking for a confrontation so I could kill."

“我會騎着一輛摩托車、開着一輛很大的車在達沃市轉，也會在街道上巡邏，看看哪裏有麻煩。實際上我是在尋找衝突，那樣我就能開槍了。”

In 2015, he admitted killing at least three men suspected of kidnapping and rape in Davao.

2015年，他承認自己至少殺死了三名有綁架和強姦嫌疑的男子。

The comments have been condemned by human rights group Amnesty International, which has called on him to put an immediate end to the killings.

不過這些評論已經遭到了人權組織--國際特赦組織的譴責，該組織呼籲他立即結束殺戮。

But just hours before Mr Duterte's latest remarks, he insisted "I am not a killer", in a speech for The Outstanding Filipino Awards 2016.

不過就在他發表這一最新言論前幾個小時的“2016年傑出菲律賓人”的頒獎典禮演講中，杜特爾特堅稱：“我不是殺手”。
