A transgender “woman” who previously put a cat in a blender has been sentenced to a minimum of 24 years in a men’s prison for murdering a Spanish engineer in a random, unprovoked attack in Oxford, England.
Scarlet Blake, a Chinese migrant who previously went by Alice Wang and was born Fangze Wang, smashed a vodka bottle over the head of BMW engineer Jorge Martin Carreno, 30, on the banks of the River Cherwell.
Prosecutors say Blake gained “sexual gratification from the thought of violence and the thought of death.” He was inspired to carry out the murder by the Netflix series Don’t F**k with Cats, which chronicles the story of a Canadian killer who tortured kittens and eventually murdered a Chinese student.
Blake himself killed a neighbor’s cat and put it in a blender on livestream only months before murdering Carreno.
Blake was as tall as his victim and significantly heavier than him. Despite being described as a “she” by the BBC, Daily Mail, and other British news outlets, he will serve his term in a men’s prison, according to the Ministry of Justice.
