A US Marine stationed in the Philippines has admitted that he choked
to death a Filipina transgender inside a motel north of the capital
Manila, in a case that reignited tensions about the presence of American troops in the country.
Joseph
Scott Pemberton made the admission on Monday during the hearing on
Jennifer Laude's murder in Olongapo City, just outside the former US
naval base in Subic, according to local news reports.
According to
the reports, the American serviceman confessed to choking and dragging
the victim after discovering that Laude was not biologically female.
