MANILA, PhilippinesThe US Marine tagged in the killing of a Filipino transgender has been identified by the authorities and will be charged with murder on Tuesday.
Private First Class Joseph Scott Pemberton, a US Marine Corps 2nd Battalion 9th Marines assigned at West Pace Express, was positively identified by a witness in the killing of 26-year-old Jeffrey Jennifer Laude in Olongapo City on Saturday.
Reading the Olongapo City Police directors report, Senior Superintendent Wilben Mayor, Philippine National Police (PNP) spokesperson, said the witness identified Pemberton through a photo line-up process provided by the US Naval Crime Investigation Service (NCIS).
The report said the witness was 22-year-old Mark Clarence Gelviro, who on Saturday night accompanied Laude when they met the suspect at the Ambyanz Disco bar hours before Laude was found dead.
City Police director Senior Superintendent Pedrito delos Reyes said a case of murder is being readied against the US Marine.
Laude was found lifeless on the bathroom floor of one of the rooms of Celzone Lodge after checking in allegedly with Pemberton. The victims head was slumped in the toilet.
Police said Laude could have been strangled and killed. She died of asphyxiation.
The custody of Pemberton remains a touchy subject. Asked where Pemberton would be detained while the trial is ongoing, Mayor said they will follow the provisions of the Visiting Forces of Agreement (VFA).

U.S. keeps custody of Marine suspect in Philippines murder case
EXCERPT:
“Under the Visiting Forces Agreement, the custody of the erring soldier stays with the Americans,” General Gregorio Catapang said after a meeting with Admiral Samuel Locklear, head of the U.S. Pacific Command.
Chuck Little, a spokesman for U.S. Marines in the Pacific, said Locklear had told all U.S. warships remotely related to the incident to stay pending an investigation into the killing of Jeffrey Laude, 26, who was found strangled on Saturday in Olongapo City.

Probably a case of mistaken identity...
I am not justifying this in any way.
But, I’ve heard of a number of such killings and violence against “trans” people. And what happened in other cases, and apparently happened here, is that the men turned violent when they discover that the girl is not really a girl.
If you get my meaning.
Not to excuse this in any way. But “trans” people who are into what appears to be prostitution are taking their lives in their hands, due to the men being shocked that they are not truly female.
Sadly, you are correct, that is why this trans person is dead. The marine found something he didn’t expect to find.
There have been a few other cases in the past few years just like this. Apparently men in this situation can become very angry and fly into a rage, when they discover that their “girl” is not really a girl.
Yeah well these particular marines are a holes of the highest order we need this cooperation against China and this idiot committed a high profile murder when he could have picked out 50,000 other bar girls. No excuse indeed. marines should be way better under self control. They needed to be told not about bar girls but about not killing the locals.
by “other bar girl” you mean “a bar girl”, right?
If the Marine killed this MAN, then he should be charged with some degree of murder, period. If he was shocked because he took off “her” clothes and found out it was a man, then that perhaps should factor in, but the Marine should not be excused. Besides, if this was a hooker, I agree with the other posters that you have to be ready for anything with a Filipino hooker.
Certainly not all men. Some guys like that sort of thing. With a shrug they "plow" ahead and make the best of the situation.
There was a DU thread where trannies complained that men didn’t want to date them. lol
Real life “Hangover 2”.
That's "most" men (not all). LOL
Well, I stand corrected if some men want a “trans” whatever “girl”. That’s a new one on me.
How can one tell the difference? Good question. Clues. A) A male has a penis. B) A female has a vagina. If , upon closer inspection, it has a penis, It is safe to assume it is a male. By the same token, if a vagina is observed it is safe to assume it is a female. In either instance, act accordingly.
Men react with anger when they are tricked by pervs. How disgusting to be kissing and getting excited over a tranny.
I think if the tranny deceives a man and he loses his composure and lashes out violently, that should not be a crime.
Gag me with a running chainsaw. ..
