No direct DNA link to teen accused of murdering Thornton Heath transsexual
This is Croydon Today

A teenager accused of strangling a transsexual did not leave conclusive traces of his DNA on a scarf used to kill her, the Old Bailey heard today.

Kellie Telesford, 39, was found on the floor of her bedroom covered in a white blanket with a brown scarf used to choke her, wrapped tightly around her neck.

When Shanniel Hyatt, 18, was arrested for the killing he denied he had reacted violently after discovering she was a pre-op transsexual during a date last year.
