"Diplomatic staff usually enjoy a certain type of immunity, but I am not sure about murder," he said. "We will consult the Foreign Office and legal advisers in this regard."

I do believe diplomatic immunity is absolute, and this guy NEVER should have even been taken into custody, let alone held. The U.S. government could waive that immunity, but I suspect not.

This would certainly not be the first time an Islamic country didn't respect a country's diplomatic status.
