This is Croydon Today (http://www.thisiscroydontoday.co.uk/latestnews/direct-DNA-link-teen-accused-murdering-Thornton-Heath-transsexual/article-264224-detail/article.html)

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.
