The Philippines said Thursday two Chinese diplomats being held over a gun attack that killed two colleagues had immunity and would be sent back to China, AFP reports.
China's consul general in the central Philippine city of Cebu was wounded, and two of his staff members shot dead, during the lunch time attack in a private room of a restaurant on Wednesday, according to police.
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.
