ALBANY, N.Y.\u2014A former U.S. Marine accused of killing a couple in the Philippines said Wednesday his extradition is looming and he looks forward to finally fighting the charges.<\/p>\n

Timothy Kaufman has been incarcerated since his arrest in April 2013 near his grandfather\u2019s upstate New York home.<\/p>\n

He is one of three men charged by authorities in the Philippines with the 2011 killing of a retired Northern Ireland police officer and his girlfriend.<\/p>\n

A federal magistrate in Albany ruled last year there was sufficient evidence against Kaufman for the U.S. Department of State to extradite him to the Philippines.<\/p>\n

Kaufman, who spoke to The Associated Press by phone from a detention centre in Los Angeles, said his lawyer told him the extradition was official about a month ago. Kaufman, who had been held in New York state until recently, did not know when he would be going.<\/p>\n

Kaufman, 36, has maintained his innocence and said he looked forward to getting to argue his case.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have nothing left but to fight, and I will. I will fight this until I die,\u201d said Kaufman, who insists he was framed.<\/p>\n

On Sept. 2, 2011, David Balmer, 54, and Elma de Guia, 26, were found dead in a bedroom in the Angeles City home of a club owner and friend of Balmer\u2019s dating to when they joined Northern Ireland\u2019s Royal Ulster Constabulary in the late 1970s. Eighteen spent 9mm shells were recovered from the scene.<\/p>\n

Within three months of the killing, Kaufman and two other men were charged with two counts of murder.<\/p>\n

Kaufman, who grew up in Tennessee, worked security and intelligence for contractors as a civilian in Iraq after he left the military, according to his family. A bulletin posted online by Philippines authorities included an ID card that indicated that in 2011 Kaufman worked as an inventory controller at a manufacturer for mobile phone cases in the Philippines.<\/p>\n

There was no immediate comment Wednesday from the federal authorities.<\/p>\n
