NORWALK - Murder defendant Anthony Rogers' former girlfriend testified at his trial Friday that as they watched a news report about the homicide of Ricky Lee Blakes, he confessed to killing the Southern Connecticut State University student.

LaToya Boyd, 25, of Norwalk, said after the report aired, Boyd told Rogers that she went to school with Blakes.

In response, Rogers called Blakes - found by police dressed in women's clothing lying in a pool of blood at Woodward Avenue and Lawrence Street - a derogatory word for a homosexual, Boyd said.
