Two Chinese held over killings have diplomatic immunity: Philippines
By AT Editor on October 22, 2015
Two Chinese diplomats being held over a gun attack that killed two colleagues and wounded another have immunity from prosecution and will be sent back to China, the Philippines said Thursday.
China’s consul general in the central Philippine city of Cebu survived being shot in the neck, but two of his staff members died during the lunchtime attack in a private room of a restaurant on Wednesday, police said.
Police detained a husband and wife who were at the lunch and foreign ministry spokesman Charles Jose said Thursday they were both accredited Chinese diplomats.
“Custody will be given to the Chinese side and they will undergo legal process in China,” Jose told reporters.
