A roofer accused of murdering a transsexual prostitute claims he tried to save the victim from being attacked by someone else.

James Hopkins, 42, from Leeds, told a court the real killer of 23-year-old Robyn Browne was a Jamaican man, he knew as "Appee."

He told jurors the pair had conned their way into Ms Brown's flat in Marylebone, London, to get an address book.
