Canada PM condemns "cold-blooded" murder of Philippines hostage

A Canadian man believed to have been killed by Abu Sayyaf militants in the Philippines has been identified as John Ridsdel. The 68-year-old former mining executive from Calgary, Alberta was kidnapped and taken hostage while on holiday last year. His severed head was discovered on Monday night on a remote southern island; five hours after the expiry of a six million euro ransom deadline set by the Islamist militants.
Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau condemned the killing.
