Sueselbeck pleads: Send me home or I鈥檒l lose my job in Germany
MANILA, Philippines—The German fiancé of slain Filipino transgender Jeffrey “Jennifer” Laude asked the Bureau of Immigration to allow his voluntary deportation.
Marc Sueselbeck, in his motion for voluntary deportation Wednesday, said he needs to go back to Germany before Nov. 3 or he might risk losing his job.

“He received word from his employer in Germany that he has to report for work by Monday next week, Nov. 3, 2014 or risk losing his job and paying unliquidated damages for failing to perform certain provisions in his employment contract,” Sueselbeck, through counsel Harry Roque, said in the motion.
“Thus, with a heavy heart—as he desires to defend himself against the charges leveled against him by Gen. [Gregorio] Catapang – he manifests before this Honorable Office that he is seeking voluntary deportation the soonest time possible so he can attend to his only source of livelihood,” the motion further stated.
Sueselbeck was supposed to leave the country Sunday but personnel from the Bureau of Immigration barred him from boarding his plane following deportation proceedings initiated by the government.
He was charged after he entered illegally Camp Aguinaldo six days ago. In a commotion aired live on television, Sueselbeck was seen pushing a soldier after the German and Laude’s sister, Marilou, climbed a fence in an attempt to confront Pfc. Joseph Scott Pemberton at his temporary detention cell at the Mutual Defense Board-Security Engagement Board compound in Camp Aguinaldo.
