Ed note: We hate having to report stories like this…
The murder trial of eighteen-year old Jamaican Shanniel Hyatt began in England this week. Hyatt stands accused of strangling 39-year old trans woman Kellie Telesford after discovering her nuts and bolts. Then, after he had covered her dead body with a sheet, Hyatt proceeded to loot Telesford’s apartment, according to prosecutors.
Hyatt, meanwhile, insists he didn’t kill Telesford, but his story’s anything but straight…
In interview he first claimed that he had met Miss Telesford and gone back to her flat for drinks and to watch a DVD, before leaving after 10pm after she had given him oral sex.
He admitted taking the phone, but no other possessions.
In further interviews he changed his story several times, but insisted he left the flat late that night and went to South Croydon with friends ‘robbing people’.
Miss O’Neill said: “He said he only discovered Kellie had been a man an hour before (in interview) and had not known she was a biological male while he was with her.
“He said he “felt pissed about finding out” and said he would have left straight away. He denied he made the discovery at the flat and became violent as a result.’
Among the possessions stolen from Telesford’s apartment were a credit card and a cell phone. The card was used to buy a bus ticket from Teleford’s area to Hyatt, while the phone wound up in Hyatt’s girlfriend’s purse. We’re sure she wasn’t pleased – for more reason than one.
How about we take this to the next level?

It may be hateable, but it’s necessary to report on how far we still have to go for queer rights. Thank you for addressing this, no matter how sad it may be.

Queer? Is this 1950?
Brendan D.
Mary- People are increasingly bringing back the term “queer” as both a personal identifier and as a general way of referring to the increasing diversity of the “non-straight” community (versus GLBTQQAAAIP…). It’s inclusive of gender identity and expression (compare to “gay rights”), it emphasizes our unity under a common category, and it also has a nice resonance with our history in the radical queer movements of the sixties. Personally, I’m a big fan of the term, but not everyone is.

Think he might have planned the robbery in advance and that everything progressed from that intention, including killing the victim to keep her/him from identifying the thief.

I will make this breif as what happened to me is very complex and three dimensional in essence. I have always had a Spiritual gift,and in October 2007 before Kellie who was unknown to me was taken,I was selected, tested,and not found lacking and hence given the means to rescue what can only be described as the soul of a saint. On reading of Kellies death in December,initially I felt little more than sadness but as the days went by it became as if my own child had been murdered. Then on December the 4th in the early hours whist tearful over the loss I was confronted by Kellie in an image of radience.Her eyes were so appealing,after much thought and consultation I was made aware that I must be the one. So on the 17th I went down to 81 Leander Road and got her out of there.It seemed so desolate at her Flat, just as if no one cared,no Wreath,Graffiti or Flowers and she used to be a Florist at that.So again on the 21st I took down a beautiful illuminated wreath of Peacock feathers which under her influence I chose, and fastened it to her window.It was not until about two months after her Funeral on 7th of January ( which she did not attend) that I again became aware of her presence,first sending me images of herself walking down Leander Road on to London Road In the clothes she wore on the night she met Hyatt,then of Trinidad,then deceased members of her Family came to look at me,then of Egypt at at a time when there was much green Vegetation.Since April she has grown much stronger,she has immense power dating back to the 19th Dynasty where she worked under SETI 1st.She can touch me, and even hold both my hands very tightly yet no one sees her.But I do not fear her as she is very gentle ,extremely alert and kind,she has made me a better man by showing her dissaproval of many af my bad and dirty habbits,she hears all I say and sees all I do.Finally she insists Hyatt did do it and she has been in attendance at all the case hearings in court 1 and will be there on every day until its completion.She does forgive Shanniel but says that he should be tought a firm yet reasonable lesson.

I would like to now bring you the true facts that I have learnt from Kellie who has defied all odds and broken down the most formidable barriers to bring you this.Kellie attended along with myself every minute of all hearings of case T008-7007 at the Old Bailey and was disgusted at the lies,assumtions,hypoth`eses and unfounded sexual theories that the defence used to brainwash a jury which consisted of little more than a load of Buffoons many of whom were too young to have any real life experience into doubting the possibility of a guilty verdict.The Prosecution did stirling work and Kellie is very proud of Sally O`Neill QC.However the defence would have made her vomit if that were possible.They brought forth a doubtful Professor of psychiatry who specialised in sexual perversions(possibly because he was obsessed with them)in order to instill into the jury the likelihood that Kellie strangled herself.Kellie wondered why her intimate friends were not in the public gallery as they wold have been livid,since when did she ever consider getting a sexual high from Cerebral Hypoxia?Then they brought forth silly Dr Patel to attemt to rubbish some of the findings of a tried and trusted coroner who had stated absolutely that sexual malpractice had to be discounted.Dr patel also stated that Kellie would have had the strength of a grown man and she could have easily fought off 17 year old Hyatt yet he had never seen her body.Kellie says that she did not have such strength as she was a Beautician and not a Navvy,Stone Sculptor or Mechanic.Besides she was taken by surprise.Then they brought forth a publicity seeking Sun Reader (Darren Simpson)who had sucked up to Sun reporters last year, to witness that he had seen Kellie at 11pm on Sunday the 18th of November when she no longer had a live body to exist in!What hurt Kellie the most was the way that they played upon the untidy state of her flat,of course it was as it had been ransacked,and who washes up after a night of Booze,Smokes and whatever? until the morning which she never saw in the flesh.also the Police had a field day in there.All this poisoned the minds of the jury and the judge did not help either as he pushed them to a quick result asking them to ignore items which would have took higher levels of reasoning to resolve.Now the Heavy bit(the absolute truth):-At just after 3am on the morning of the 18th of November 2007 at Flat 1,81 Leander road,Thornton Heath.Hyatt lay on the bed asleep or most likely pretending to be so.Kellie being tired dropped off.At around 5am she was awoken by the sound of Hyatt dismantleing her Audio Visual equipment.She challenged him and he became violent and strangled her on the bed,she being sleepy stood little chance.You know the rest,he made off with all he could carry.Hyatt will soon be free and whether here or in Jamaica he will graduate to more serious and violent crime,he has been brought to the notice of higher powers than those of this world and there will be no escape.

I would like to mention two more points which I had omitted from the comment above which are nothing more than dirty tricks used by the defence to Brinwash the jury.(1);- They said that the Dressing Gown showed 40 areas of Semen stain but they omitted to state that these 40 areas had not been individually profiled, as you know just one good ejaculation can spray quite a large area and just one boyfriend could have done that. A full profile costs money, just as the throw used to cover her was also given the same treatment. (2);-Neighbour Bachanan of 83 Leander Road gave written evidence that loud music and frequent comings and goings pointed to 81 being a Disorderly House. Poppycock!81 was devided into Three Flats . And besides Kellie and I are very much alike we love club music and even though I live in quite a select area the music and dance rarely starts before 1am.I do hope that this has added more flesh to the bones showing the extent of the Injustice given to Kellie.

I would like to add a little more to the comments above as I have just read an article in the croydon guardian by Harry Miller which was published on the 20th of August. It seems that the defence has brainwashed the press also in as much that it was said that Kelly Picked up Hyatt. This is not so,Hyatt stopped Kelly and begged off her a cigarette and after giving him one she walked off. He then called her back, he flattered her greatly no doubt for a sexual favour. And then on finding out that she lived alone other thoughts would have come into his mind. It was also mentioned that Kelly had a habit of taking men back to her flat and engaging in intimacy. Where this Erroneous Figment of Mrs Greenbergs inagination came from I do not know.I can tell you that Kelly did occasionally Invite Male friends who she trusted back to her home,But it rarely concluded in sex and when it did the intimate friend was well aware of Kellys orientation. She was not obsessed with thoughts of sex as the media and the defence would have you believe. Actually she is quite reserved when it comes to such things. Another thing that caught my eye and nearly caused me to choke on my supper was the article by Matt Aston in the Pink News covering the outcome of the case.All the bonafide evidence of the time that Hyatt left 81 Leander Road and what he had on his person was omitted. The article stuck religiously to Hyatts statement that he left at 10pm. I thought that this POULTRY RAG the PINK NEWS defended the LGBT community!

As this news fades into the past let`s not allow the memory of Kelly to follow it, for this reason I am making a final comment yet should anything further arise you can rest assured that I will be back. Thornton Heath has lost some of its sparkle and become a little duller since Kelly is no longer seen around. Her Special Beauty,Gentility and caring Kindness are now gone, taken from us by a Moronic Crackhead. I know this because he did ask her if she had any and of course she did not. The reality has dawned upon me and I suspected this from my very first trip down to Leander Road and more recently surveys of the Press and the Web plus Zero responses from advertisments that I had made in the Croydon local Papers which show an utter Neglect by Kellys` friends. The fact is that apart from her Family who are suffering even more since the Inverse outcome of the case against her murderer plus the Lies and Filth concocted by the defence and scattered across the board even by the so called pillars of newsprint and Broadcasting it seems that I am the only one that she has to Defend her. Fortunately for Kelly and unknown to her at the time an elaborate safety net had been laid out for her. She still has a foothold on this world which has given me the ability to expose the Injustice of which she has been the recipient. She has free will and there were things mentioned in court that she will not allow me to reveal but they were Insults irrelevent to the case, but contact is open through me. One final point that I will make is that now Hyatt has gotten off with murdering a Kind and Gentle person in a Vicious and Merciless manner and not even having the excuse of knowing her true gender and added to this the Slanderous Deformation of her character and serious damage to her reputation understandably Forgiveness is out of the window. Let`s give Kelly the respect that she deserves. Another thing that will interest you and Kelly allows me to bring it to your notice, Kelly although born a man felt very feminine and loved the feminine life and lived it.she always kept herself to herself and was a quiet person. The evening that she met Hyatt she felt a little lonely and his plastic flattery tipped the balance. Kelly is disgusted at what she did. In spirit Kelly is still a man but feels very feminine and still has a lovely face yet she cannot reproduce the beauty that she could in the flesh.

Since the Annual Transgender Day of Remmbrance will soon be upon us I am in the process of putting up a non interactive website for the defence of Kelly and as a result of this I have conferred with her to get a more precise account of her last moments. THE LAST MOMENTS OF KELLY TELESFORD at flat 1, 81 Leander Road in the early hours of 18.11.07;– Hyatt had been seemingly asleep since about 1.30A.M on the side of the bed nearest the window. Kelly expected him to leave when he awoke because she never had any doubts about him. Kelly was awake until just after 3A.M when she fell asleep on the side of the bed nearest the Television which remained on. Kelly was awoken at at around 5 A.M by the sounds that Hyatt made as he was disconnecting and moving her Television and Sound equipment. She sat up and saw him carrying her DVD towards the door and she also noticed that her handbag was no longer on the table. She challenged him saying “what do you think you`re doing you thief” and Hyatt became enraged and replied “I`ll kill you, you bastard sex maid” (in jamaican slang). He grabbed the scarf which was hanging over the back of the chair nearest the door and quickly with the scarf outstreched between his hands he mounted the bed. Kelly did not expect him to kill,she thought that he would gag her and tie her up. She said “stop I only have these”, It was too late, the scarf was around her neck very quickly and she being sleepy stood little chance. Although very frightened she felt little pain and it was rapidly over. Hyatt made sure that the scarf was well tied to ensure that she did not come round and pulled her on to the floor and then covered her up. Now that she was out of the way he went through her belongings making off with all that he could carry including the little money that she had,about £17.—Posted by Rodney A Ballard (YELHSA). 13.11.08.

There is now a webpage up regarding Kellie Telesford. see http://www.kellietelesford.co.uk

Now since my last post there has been a development which UNDERMINES the efforts of the Defence to get Hyatt off. This concerns the so called PATHOLOGIST Dr Patel who was brought in to rubbish the findings of the tried and trusted Pathologist Dr K Shorrock used by the prosecution. Dr Patel Namely MOHAMED SAEED SULEMA PATEL alias “FREDDY PATEL” was brought
before the General Medical Council to answer regarding gross misrepresentation by himself.
1. He falsified his CV claiming that he worked as a Home Office Pathologist and in a Group Practice from 1988 to 2009. Which He DID NOT. This means that NO WEIGHT CAN BE GIVEN TO HIS STATMENTS OR FINDINGS IN THAT CASE T008-7007 AT THE OLD BAILEY IN AUGUST 2008.
2.He Made AUTOPSY CONCLUSIONS without PROPER consideration of the EVIDENCE. And we can see this clearly as he never examined Kellies body WHICH HAD BEEN CREMATED EIGHT MONTHS EARLIER,
He was not called until August. This Cumulatively makes his place in that court worthless.
And furthermore he was Qualified in Kenya where one can easily buy a proffesional qualification, say no more.
He was SRUCK OFF for three months or more to improve himself.
Michael
Panic my fucking ass it was HATE that drove him nothing else but HATE. Bigoted asshole could not handle the fact that people who are trans actually exist in this world.Beyond sad that she died due to that bigoted prick he should have been the one that died not Shanniel.
Yelhsa
Now what I have been waiting for has finally come to pass and that is the Striking off of the Charlatan Pathologist Dr??? Mohamed Saeed Sulema Patel Alias “Freddy Patel” for Incompetence and Dishonesty!
Now this menace to public trust was called to the witness box (Not pre arranged) by the defence in T008-7007 at the Old Bailey in August 2008 when a window of opportunity arose by the defence coming aware that the DNA evidence which they knew in absolution would have put Hyatt away failed to reach 40%. They saw that a good chance of them getting their way had presented itself if they could pull the jury in their favour. As we can now see knowing all that has been revealed about him, he was the Ideal tool for the defence. I could go as far as to say his presence in the witness box was purjurous. He worked from notes given to him and omitted to make any reference to Kellie’s weight of 52Kg as opposed to Hyatt ~100Kg that was like pitting a flywieght against a middle weight. He made erroneous assumptions no doubt to please his paymasters. I would put it to Joanna Greenberg QC that she knew that Freddy was shall we put it “Flexible”.
