[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A transgender cat killer will serve at least 24 years in a male jail for murdering a BMW engineer she randomly targeted as part of a warped sexual fantasy inspired by a Netflix documentary.
Scarlet Blake's own defence lawyer admitted his client was so dangerous no parole board would ever feel it was safe to release her back into society.
The 26-year-old smashed a vodka bottle over Jorge Martin Carreno's head, strangled him then pushed the Spaniard into Oxford's River Cherwell, where he drowned.
Four months earlier, Blake had livestreamed herself killing a neighbour's cat and placing its body in a blender.
Blake, whose parents are respected doctors, targeted the 30-year-old BMW worker as he walked home from a night out in Oxford on July 24, 2021 – the first Saturday night after Covid restrictions were eased.
She had been prowling the city's streets wearing a military-style hooded jacket, and carrying a rucksack containing a 'murder kit' complete with a garrotte and leopard print dressing gown cord.
Blake got away with Mr Carreno's murder for two years before her ex-partner Ashlynn Bell tipped off police.
She was convicted last week after a three-week trial. The judge also imposed concurrent two and four-month sentences relating to the killing of the cat.
A source confirmed Blake, who was given puberty blockers when she was 17
and started to received hormone treatment when she was 18, would serve her sentence in a male prison.
