In March this year, news of the death of trans woman Naomi Hersi rippled through parts of the media. Naomi was 36 years old when she was found with knife injuries in a hotel room near Heathrow Airport, and died soon after.
In the scattered press coverage of the gruesome discovery — only picked up three days after it had happened — people who knew Naomi described her as “fun to be around” and “a real character” as well as “one of the most caring people I’ve ever met.”
