A 41-year-old man has been charged with the murder of a transsexual prostitute.

James Hopkins, from Leeds, is due to appear in West London Magistrates Court for killing the pre-operative transsexual Robyn Browne in 1997.

Hopkins was arrested by officers from the Metropolitan Police Service's Homicide Command in connection with the stabbing.

Ms Browne, 23, was found dead in her flat in Gosfield Street, Marylebone, London in February 1997.

She had been repeatedly stabbed.

Born James Errol Browne, she had been having treatment for a sex change and worked in London's West End.

Does England have hate crimes legislation? Some areas have more severe penalties for attacking gays, minorities etc.

Of course it might just be a sex crime rather than a hate crime.
