OLONGAPO CITY, Zambales—The German fiancé of slain transgender woman Jeffrey “Jennifer” Laude visited her grave Friday morning, on the eve of his scheduled departure for Germany.
Marc Sueselbeck’s request for voluntary deportation was granted by the Bureau of Immigration on Thursday, according to the Laude family’s lawyer Virgie Suarez.
But being placed on an immigration blacklist, as a result of his deportation, has deprived Sueselbeck the chance to visit his girlfriend’s tomb in the future.
“I’ve suffered long enough, and until now I don’t understand why the Philippine government has done this to me and Jennifer’s family,” Sueselbeck complained to the Inquirer.
Sueselbeck said he would have wanted to return next year on their anniversary and again on their supposed wedding day that was planned for 2015.
The German joined Laude’s sister Michelle at the Olongapo Heritage Garden cemetery, where they offered prayers and lit candles at Laude’s grave.
