It's getting ever so complicated to keep track on what's happening in the tube murder case of transgender human rights lawyer David Burgess - also known as Sonia.
Today it emerged in court that the woman who has been charged with the murder of Mr Burgess herself in the process of becoming a woman.
It was the first time since the arrest that it has been revealed that the defendant is a man. Unshaven 34-year-old Nina Kanagasingham, of Chichele Road, Cricklewood, north-west London, appeared at the Old Bailey today for the first time. When Judge Timothy Pontius asked the defendant if the sex change had been completed he was told it had not and that the defendant wished to be referred to as Nina.
Mr Burgess, 63, was struck by a train at King's Cross Underground station during evening rush-hour last Monday. He was a human rights lawyer and a senior partner in his firm, with more than 40 years’ experience in immigration law. He had brought human rights cases against North Korea.
Since his death it has emerged that he advertised himself as a 'pre-op' transsexual escort looking for paid encounters with men on a website.
Mr Burgess, who had two adult daughters and a son by his ex-wife. His family knew him as both Sonia and David.

Early reports say the pair were apparently play-fighting before Burgess fell. I'd be interested to learn why the police think it's murder and not manslaughter or a lesser charge.
