A United States Marine was found guilty of homicide Tuesday in the 2014 death of a transgender woman in the Philippines.

U.S. Marine Lance Corporal Joseph Scott Pemberton, 20, met 26-year-old Jennifer Laude at a nightclub in Olongapo City, northwest of Manila, while the Marine was on a break in October 2014 after joint military exercises in the Philippines. Pemberton, who was then a private first class, claimed that the violent incident took place after he discovered during sex that Laude had male genitalia and that when he fought her he acted in self-defense, Reuters reports. Laude’s body was found near a Navy base in Manila.

Pemberton reportedly admitted to choking but not killing Laude. A witness testified that Pemberton said, "I think I killed a he/she" after the incident, the Associated Press reported.
