Prosecutors said Blake had a “fixation with violence” and found thevictim,30-year-old Jorge Martin Carreno, while searching the streets of Oxford looking for someone to kill in the early hours of 25 July 2021.
TheBBC reportsthat Blake, who identifies as transgender, will serve a life sentence in a men’s prison.
Sky Newsreportedon the crime with the following tweet: “BREAKING: A woman who filmed herself killing a cat before putting the animal in a blender has been jailed for life for murdering a man four months later.”
The best-selling author reposted the message, writing to her 14 million followers, “I’m so sick of this sh*t. This is not a woman. These are #NotOurCrimes.”

Blake, formerly known as Alice Wang, arrived in the UK from China when she was nine years old and came out to her parents when she was twelve. She said it “made my father really unhappy and my mother as well” and “caused a large emotional rift,” according to the BBC.
Jurors were told that the killer had an “extreme interest in death and… harm” that “went beyond mere fantasy.”
The Harry Potter author said that she agreed with “every single word” of Tickle’s post.
She also suggested that Blake should serve her sentence in a men’s prison
The term “cis,” short for “cisgender,”describessomeone whose internal sense of gender corresponds with the sex the person was identified as having at birth.
“2. Activists are already clamouring for this sadistic killer to be incarcerated in a women’s prison.
“3. Ideologically-driven misinformation is not journalism.”

She also re-tweeted a message that read,“Scarlet Blake is the latest in a long line of violent men who claim ‘women’s identities’ before or after committing a serious offence. He is, and remains a man, no matter what he calls himself.”
Her first case of controversy withtheLGBTQ+ communitydates back to June 2020 when she tweeted, among other things, “If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased.”
The mother of three has previously suggested that transgender women like Blake “retain male patterns of criminality,” which makes them likelier than cisgender women to assault someone in a women’s locker room or shelter.In October, the 58-year-old writer claimed that she would “happily” go to jail in order to keep misgendering people.
She wrote: “I’ll happily do two years if the alternative is compelled speech and forced denial of the reality and importance of sex.
“Bring on the court case, I say. It’ll be more fun than I’ve ever had on a red carpet.”
The body of the victim, 30-year-old Jorge Martin Carreno, was found in the River Cherwell at Parson’s Pleasure in July 2021

“As someone who grew up reading and loving her books, seeing her attack my community at every opportunity she gets is devastating.”
The activist, who has over 54,000 followers on Instagram, explained that Rowling’s anti-trans tirades exacerbate the state of marginalization of the transgender community.
“There has been a drastic shift in attitudes towards trans people, and unfortunately, it’s for the worst,” she said.
