TheMason Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 (edited) I wonder if the driver of the SUV was the same person its registered to. It seems strange to me that a diplomatic official would shoot someone over a traffic incident. I'm sure there are criminals in the diplomatic corp of every country but this is really extreme for anyone, especially a diplomat.Does anyone know if people here on diplomatic passports are allowed to own guns? I don't think they are and given the UK handgun policies I would think they would prohibit their diplomatic personnel from doing so regardless of local laws.

Mr Lee Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 (edited) It seems to be a little bit of a complicated situation, but if they are correct, then the guy they say killed him is an American and the stepson of the guy who the car is registered to, and it also seems the same guy may have killed a palace official in 2004 and from there is gets very murky. It looks from another news story that they say he is armed and dangerous, so it seems they are setting him up for instant death. Ebarle slay suspect tied to earlier killing MANILA, Philippines – The American who shot and killed the son of a Malacañang official over a traffic altercation late Wednesday was also involved in a vehicular accident a few years ago which led to the death of a government official, police said Friday.The suspect has been identified as Jason Ivler, 27, a stepson of Briton Stephen Pollard, an economist at the Asian Development Bank. Ivler is the son of Pollard’s wife, Marlene Aguilar, from a previous marriage. Marlene is a sister of singer Freddie Aguilar.Arrested in 2004Ivler was charged in court for the August 2004 deadly car accident on the C5-Ortigas flyover that killed Ponce.According to press reports in 2004, Ponce was killed while his wife and another passenger were hurt when Ivler’s Toyota Land Cruiser with license plate 23370 leapt over the center island of the C-5 Ortigas flyover and slammed into Ponce’s Isuzu Trooper.Ivler, an American citizen, was charged with reckless imprudence resulting in homicide, serious physical injuries and damage to property in a Pasig court.A warrant of arrest was issued against Ivler, after he slipped past police guards at the Asian Hospital and Medical Center where he was taken after the accident.Ivler, who was granted bail but barred from leaving the country, was arrested by National Bureau of Investigation agents in Zamboanga City while trying to catch a ferry bound for Malaysia.The reports said Ivler was being escorted by two police officials when he was arrested by NBI agents.Link to the whole story Edited November 21, 2009 by Mr. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
