Scarlet Blake Convicted of Murder in Oxford
The 26-year-old was found guilty of murdering Jorge Martin Carreno after a sadistic attack inspired by a Netflix documentary.
- Scarlet Blake, 26, was convicted of murdering Jorge Martin Carreno, 30, in Oxford, following a brutal attack that left him to drown in the River Cherwell.
- The murder, inspired by a Netflix documentary, was part of a warped sexual fantasy and came months after Blake livestreamed the killing of a cat.
- Blake, who showed no emotion upon conviction, had a fixation with violence and previously expressed a desire to 'open up a person like her little cat friend'.
- Prosecutors highlighted Blake's extreme interest in death and harm, and her sexual gratification from violence, as evidenced by disturbing videos presented during the trial.
- Blake will be sentenced on Monday, with the prosecution suggesting a minimum prison term starting at 30 years due to the sadistic nature of the murder.
