CAT KILLER JAILED FOR LIFE OVER MURDER INSPIRED BY NETFLIX
Warped sexual fantasy excited lover
A CAT killer who brutally murdered a man as part of a warped sexual fantasy inspired by a Netflix show was jailed for life yesterday.
Scarlet Blake, 26, copied scenes from documentary Don’t F*** with Cats when she slaughtered the stolen feline.
Filming herself on a live-stream, she asked a friend: “I wonder where I learn how to do this to a person?”
Weeks later she attacked Jorge Martin Carreno, 30, on July 25, 2021, after he had a night out with colleagues.
Blake lured him to a park near the University of Oxford before hitting him over the head with a vodka bottle and attempting to strangle him.
The Spanish national’s body was found in the River Cherwell in Oxford the next day after he drowned.
Blake, who is transgender, was in the area “looking for a victim”.
She had a “murder kit” in her rucksack, including a garrotte and leopardprint dressing gown cord. A court heard she carried out the killing because she knew it would sexually excite her then girlfriend Ashlynn Bell.
Blake, who lived in the city, denied murder but was convicted by a jury last Friday following a three-week trial.
Prosecutors said she had a “fixation with violence and knowing what it would feel like to kill someone”.
She was handed a mandatory life sentence, with a minimum of 24 years behind bars.
Jorge’s murder came four months after Blake, who told jurors she came out as transgender at 12, had live-streamed the sadistic killing of the cat.
She said: “Here we go my little friend. Oh boy, you smell like sh**. I can’t wait to put you through the blender.”
After the savage killing, she dissected the family pet, removed its fur and skin, and placed its body in a blender, as New Order song True Faith played in the background.
It mimicked the Netflix documentary in which a man kills kittens, then films the murder of a human.
Blake boasted of the killing to others, and of “her desire to open up a person like her little cat friend”.
At Oxford crown court, Mr Justice Chamberlain said she had a “clear sexual motivation” for killing the BMW worker. The judge added: “I am sure you did derive pleasure from killing Jorge, as you had from killing the cat.
“You revelled in what you had done, returning at least twice to the scene to take photographs.”
Blake confessed to the killing to her ex-girlfriend, who lives in the US.
Mr Justice Chamberlain said: “You believed Ashlynn Bell would find it sexually exciting, as in fact she did. As you said to another partner, you killed ‘because my lover said it’d be hot’.”
Jorge was a triplet and his mum and two brothers were in court.
Brother Gerardo said: “Scarlet Blake has shown no remorse for her actions, compounding our grief and making it even more difficult to process the barbarities and cruelties she inflicted. “Her arrogance is palpable”
The Ministry of Justice confirmed Blake was being held at a male prison.
