A young Colombian had contracted the sexual services of McRae, a trans woman from Australia for one hundred dollars. However, she was unaware that she was a transgender worker. After being blinded by her anger, she took his life.
Héctor Valencia, who is a student, was sentenced this Friday to ten years in prison for the involuntary manslaughter of a transgender sex worker in an incident that occurred in January 2020 in Sydney, Australia, judicial sources confirmed to EFE.
The sentence comes following Judge Dina Yehia of the High Court of the New South Wales region, whose capital is Sydney, declared Héctor Valencia, 23, innocent of murder last February, but guilty of the involuntary manslaughter of Kimberly McRae, 69.
How did he kill her?
Valencia hit her in the stomach and face. The two struggled and then the student “held a cord around the deceased’s neck with both hands for a few seconds,” according to Australia’s public broadcaster ABC’s account of the sentencing hearing.

What is known regarding the crime and Héctor Valencia

After being captured, Valencia admitted to assaulting and killing Ms. McRae, but argued that he had no intention of doing so, as it was all in self-defense. However, the judge rejected Valencia’s argument and said that he was the one who started the violence. However, he also said the attack was neither premeditated nor planned and nothing beyond a reasonable doubt might be found that he was motivated by prejudice when he strangled her to death.
