The Colombian student had hired McRae’s sexual services for $100 thinking she was a woman, but when he discovered she was a transgender sex worker, he reacted furiously.
Valencia hit her in the stomach and face, they both struggled and then the student “held a cord around the deceased’s neck with both hands for a few seconds”according to the account made by the Australian public broadcaster ABC of the sentencing hearing.
