Many prostitutes refuse to accept non-white clients, even rich ones, due to their increased levels of aggression and entitlement.
Clearly, this whore wasn’t so discriminating – and now she’s paid the price for it.
A ‘devoted’ father accused of bludgeoning a high class escort to death in Crawley has claimed he did ‘everything possible to stop her strangling him’.
City socialite Christina Abbotts was found dead at a flat in Highams Hill on May 26 this year after not showing up to her birthday party.
Zahid Naseem – a client of hers – denies murdering her and is standing trial at Lewes Crown Court.
Giving evidence from the witness box this afternoon, the father-of-two from Amersham said is a ‘devoted’ father to two young children.
Naseem, 48, told the court he was initially attracted to Christina – whose escort name was Tilly Pexton – because she was ‘very much the professional city girl’.
On their first meeting they met in an expensive London hotel where she tied him up, led him on his hands and knees and asked him to drink wine from a saucer on the floor.
Naseem was then asked about the night of May 24, when he met Christina again.
After hours of cocaine and alcohol consumption in the Crawley flat, he said something happened while she was sitting on his chest in the bedroom.
He said: “At some stage she did hold my neck and she did not let go, and I remember at the time thinking hang on this isn’t being playful it is actually hurting.
“All of a sudden I was being choked, and it wasn’t just being choked I was being strangled to death.
“I did try and push her off but I couldn’t.”
Asked about the 13 blows to the head Christina received, Naseem said: “I just reached out, took the first thing that came to hand and stopped it.
“I think I just literally just everything possible to stop her strangling me to death.”
But prosecutor Christopher Tehrani QC asked him if his story was actually a ‘pack of lies’.
