Man slashed transvestite's throat after sex, court hears

A then homeless man who had sex with a Filipino transvestite but then slashed his throat after discovering he was a man has had his sentence adjourned at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.

Vincent Murtagh (aged 23), now of Stanhope Green, Dublin 7 had been stopped on Dame Street while carrying a butcher's knife the day before he met the victim and told gardaí he wanted to threaten someone he had earlier had a fight with because he didn't want him "to think I was a faggot".
