A Philadelphia man was arrested for murdering a transgender
prostitute and dumping the body parts in a vacant lot, sources
say.
Charles Sargent, 43, thought he had sexual relations with a
biologically female hooker and allegedly grew enraged after he
found out that she was used to be a man.
Sargent used a hatchet and screwdriver to kill and dismember
victim Diamond Williams, authorities suspect.
His girlfriend said that he confessed to the murder when she
came home unexpectedly to find him dragging what looked like a
body wrapped in sheets.
"This is going to be you next. You and your children," he
reportedly told his girlfriend, if she squealed. Then he
allegedly hacked the victim up in his basement while blasting
music loudly to drown out the loud whacks of his axe.
Despite the threats, the woman alerted the police, who took
Sargent into custody, where he admitted to the manslaughter,
authorities said.
The dead prostitute's mutilated body parts were uncovered in an
empty lot in the city's Strawberry Mansion neighborhood.
"We have an individual in Homicide now. He's the one who told us
where we could find the body," Police Commissioner Charles H.
Ramsey told the Philadelphia Daily News. "It's a huge vacant lot
with weeds that are 3-to-4-feet high. The body was dismembered,
and various parts were found in different places."
Sargent was charged with murder, possession of an instrument of
crime, abuse of a corpse and making terroristic threats,
reported local station WCAU.
He has previously been charged with rape and aggravated assault.
