'We have been respectful during this summit process. Now we must speak out. Kim and his evil regime are responsible for the death of our son Otto,' Fred and Cindy Warmbier said in a statement. 'Kim and his evil regime are responsible for unimaginable cruelty and inhumanity. No excuses or lavish praise can change that.'
