A KILLER who strangled a pre-op transsexual prostitute at her home in Kentish Town was behind bars and facing the prospect of a life sentence today.
Leon Fyle, 22, arranged to visit 29 year-old Destiny Lauren for a massage on November 5 last year after finding her advert in a newspaper.
He was caught on CCTV donning a pair of black gloves before entering her flat in Leighton Crescent that night.
Miss Lauren - whose uncle Paul Hill was a member of the Guildford Four - was found dead two hours later by her brother.
