US marine guilty of Filipina transgender killing

[Jason]

The marine was on leave in Olongapo on 11 October 2014, after joint military exercises with the Philippine army, when he met Ms Laude - previously known as Jeffrey - in a bar.
Police said they left together and checked into a hotel, where she was found dead the next day, apparently strangled and with her head inside the hotel toilet.
Pemberton had previously testified in court that he had attacked Ms Laude after he realised she was transgender, but said she was still alive when he left the room.

And he's not even a Muslim.

...previously known as Jeffrey...

Slightly surreal...

Much easier just to file a claim under the Trade Descriptions Act.

Jarheads, sheesh.

I thought we were supposed to cheer when victims kill their rapists? He obviously never gave willing consent to have sex with a transsexual, hence that's morally considered rape.
