Scarlet Blake Sentenced to Life for Oxford Murder

The murder, motivated by a sexual fantasy and preceded by animal cruelty, has led to a life sentence with a minimum of 24 years.

Scarlet Blake, 26, has been sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 24 years for the murder of Jorge Martin Carreno, 30, in Oxford, July 2021.
Blake's murder of Carreno was motivated by a warped sexual fantasy, inspired by a Netflix documentary, and involved a premeditated attack leading to Carreno's drowning.
Prior to the murder, Blake had live-streamed the sadistic killing of a cat, showcasing a fixation with violence and death.
Throughout the trial, Blake showed no remorse, maintaining innocence and attributing actions to a fragmented personality, including identifying as a cat.
Blake is being held at a male prison, despite identifying as a transgender woman.
