In a shocking case, Scarlet Blake, a cat killer obsessed with violence, was sentenced to life today for the murder of BMW worker Jorge Martin Carreno in Oxford.
The 26-year-old deliberately targeted Carreno in a warped sexual fantasy inspired by a Netflix documentary.
Blake brutally attacked Carreno, hitting him with a vodka bottle, strangling him, and pushing him into the River Cherwell where he drowned.
The Disturbing Background
Scarlet Blake, who identifies as transgender, had a history of violence, including live-streaming the sadistic killing of a cat.
In the chilling video, Blake dissects the animal, removes its fur and skin, and places its body in a blender.
The act, accompanied by the New Order song True Faith, paid homage to the Netflix documentary ‘Don’t F*** With Cats,’ adding a disturbing layer to the murder case.
Impact on the Victim’s Family
During the sentencing, Jorge Martin Carreno’s family expressed their devastation, emphasizing how Blake’s actions had stolen a life full of love and potential.
His brother Geraldo highlighted the lack of remorse from Blake, making the process even more challenging for the grieving family.
The mother, Carmen, paid tribute to her beloved son, describing the loss as an open wound impossible to fill.
Prosecution’s Argument and Sentencing
The prosecution argued that the murder was sexually motivated and gratuitous, asserting that Blake derived sexual pleasure from the cat mutilation and Carreno’s murder.
The judge, Mr. Justice Chamberlain, declared the murder premeditated, with clear sexual motivation.
The judge condemned Blake’s lack of remorse and her actions, stating that the decision to kill was entirely hers and not a reaction to external factors.
Defence and Sentencing Remarks
Blake’s defence acknowledged her dangerous nature, suggesting a potential life sentence.
However, they disputed the sexual motive for the murder, claiming it was meant to impress others rather than driven by sexual gratification.
The judge rejected this argument, emphasizing Blake’s clear enjoyment of the grotesque acts and the sexual nature of the murder. The sentencing took into account the severity of the crime, with Blake facing life imprisonment.
Conclusion and Acknowledgments
As Scarlet Blake received her life sentence, the judge paid tribute to the Carreno family’s courage and the investigative efforts of Thames Valley Police.
The case, described as truly disturbing, unfolded with details of Blake’s obsession with violence, leading to the heinous murder of Jorge Martin Carreno in Oxford.
