What Jennifer Laudes boyfriend is now doing in Germany ABS-CBNnews Posted at 12/21/2014 12:59 AM | Updated as of 12/21/2014 1:06 AM Sueselbeck says work affected by the murder case MANILA -- German national Marc Sueselbeck admitted that his work was affected after he got involved in the case of his slain fiancée, Filipino transgender Jennifer Laude. In an interview with ABS-CBN Europe News Bureau in Duisburg, Germany, Sueselbeck said he is now facing work and financial problems after he stayed in the Philippines longer than he had intended. I was facing pretty much difficulties from two sides, one side from normal working aspect that I did overdue my vacation…and myself monetarily, he said. The German grabbed the headlines after he and Laudes sister, Marilou, scaled the perimeter fence inside Camp Aguinaldo in an attempt to get near the suspect in Laudes killing, US Marine Joseph Scott Pemberton. Sueselbeck was then prevented from leaving the country to face deportation proceedings for being an undesirable alien. While he was being blocked by immigration officials at the airport, Sueselbeck fainted and was rushed to the hospital. Sueselbeck said these incidents did not sit well with his employer. My company was not happy to see me included in such a case. You know the media coverage here in Germany was pretty big after what had happened at the airport, he said. The Bureau of Immigration had said the German was prevented from leaving the Philippines so he could face deportation proceedings and seek exclusion from the Philippines blacklisted aliens. In order to speed up the deportation proceedings, Sueselbeck filed for voluntary deportation with the BI. As a result, the German is now barred from entering the Philippines. Sueselbeck said he wishes for the Philippines to remove him from the immigration blacklist. First of all I want to apologize to your government and to your authorities, I did pay pretty much already for it. Financial-wise, personally, and also emotionally, I did pay a big price for it already, he said. The German also said he is glad over the developments in the case, even though he is not confident that the United States will honor its commitment to surrender Pemberton to Philippine authorities in case the US Marine gets convicted for murder. The US already, as far as I know, did reject to give Pemberton to Philippine authorities so I think he will stay with the Americans over the time and as far as I know it will be even the same thing when he will be convicted so I dont expect really him to face the sentence, he said. Pemberton on Friday appeared in court for the first time since Laudes death more than two months ago. Laude, 26, was found at a cheap hotel in Olongapo City before dawn on October 12. A witness said Pemberton, 19, at the time, was the last person seen with the transgender woman. After the charge of murder was read in court, Pemberton asked that arraignment proceedings be postponed. The US Marine said, before the trial proceeds, his application to have the charge against him downgraded from murder to homicide should be resolved first. Homicide carries a maximum prison term of 20 years, compared to 40 years for murder. - report from Ver Cuizon, ABS-CBN Europe News Bureau
