Robyn Brown murder
3 Answers
I'm searching for information regarding the unsolved murder of Robyn Brown, a pre-operative transexual woman prostitute who was found dead in her flat in Marylebone, London. If someone could tell me the date the murder took place, that would help. There seems to be very little on the Web about this case.

"Robyn Browne was a pre-operative transsexual woman. (She was also known as James, Jenna or Errol.) She was a sex worker using her home in Marylebone as a base for her clients. She shared her flat with a close friend, Natasha Brentwood. They were well known within the transgender community in London. Her parents could not accept her
way of life. The only family member to keep in touch with Robyn was her sister.
Robyn appeared to be preparing to see a client in the early evening of 28 February 1997. Two boys in the same building as Robyn let a man in through the front door and he went upstairs towards Robyn�s flat. One of the boys described him as white with blond hair, clean-shaven and dressed in black. His mother said that she heard people struggling and stamping in Robyn�s flat. (The police could not obtain parental permission to interview the other boy.) When Robyn�s flatmate returned from dinner at 8pm, she found Robyn�s body with multiple stab wounds to the chest and neck.
The police investigation concentrated on Robyn�s associates and acquaintances. Several suspects were identified but later eliminated from the investigation, either due to an alibi or due to the absence of any forensic evidence linking them to the scene of the crime. DNA and fingerprint samples were taken from the scene. A review in 1999 recommended sending these samples to be checked against overseas databases because one of Robyn�s last clients was thought to be from overseas. However, no new evidence has surfaced, and Robyn�s murder remains unsolved".
