Police said Laude’s attacker may have been angered when he discovered in the motel room that Laude was a transgender individual or because of an argument sparked by other reasons.
On Tuesday, about 40 young activists waved red flags and yelled “US troops out now” in a protest that ended with the burning of a mock American flag at the heavily secured US embassy. Riot police stopped them from getting close to the seaside compound.
“This is just so abominable. It’s one of the worst hate crimes I’ve seen,” said Corky Hope Maranan, a leader of a group of transgender and lesbian Filipinos.
“If he remains in US custody, certainly he can escape from our justice system again. We don’t want another Daniel Smith,” Maranan said.
Smith was a marine who was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison on charges of raping a Filipino woman after a night of drinking in 2005, also at the Subic free port. A Philippine appeals court overturned Smith’s conviction in 2009, allowing him to leave the country.
