Man Repeatedly Stabbed Prostitute With Scissors And Set Her Hair On Fire Because He Couldn’t Get Aroused
A man was convicted of attempted murder after repeatedly stabbing a prostitute with a pair of scissors because he couldn’t get aroused, according to the Daily Mail.
On June 27, 32-year-old Kirk Wynter of Harold Road, Stoke Newington was arrested at his home after DNA proved he was Samantha Jamison’s – who is a prostitute – attacker and tried to stab her to death with a pair of scissors.

Wynter picked up Jamison on the street and took her to a nearby room to engage in a sexual act, but when he couldn’t get aroused he asked for his money back. However, the prostitute refused to refund his money and that’s when he plunged a pair of scissors into her before setting her hair on fire and hitting her with a broken tile as well as an umbrella.
“She then began again to give him oral sex but his problem continued and he was unable to get an erection,” said prosecutor Michael Hall.
“Wynter abruptly ran to the corner of the dingy room to vomit, then put his shirt back on and demanded she return his money.”
“At this point things got nasty.”
“He picked up an umbrella and started striking her with it.”
“He demanded not just the money he had given her but every penny she had.”
As he repeatedly stabbed Jamison with the scissors, he screamed “you’re going to die in here b****, don’t think you’re getting out of it,” accoridng to the London Evening Standard.
“She then describes how he tried to light her hair with his disposable lighter and with a candle but, largely due to her efforts, the flame didn’t catch,” Hall continued.
“He kept saying that she was dead and then, while holding her by the hair, emptied her make-up bag. A pair of scissors fell out which he picked up and started stabbing her repeatedly with.”
Sometime during the violent attack, he vomited just before fleeing the scene, leaving the prostitute with “two punctured lungs, stab wounds, and severe bruising.” His vomit is what helped police officials track him down, but he claims they have the wrong man and it is a case of mistaken identity.
“You have been convicted of what appears to be strong evidence indeed,” Judge Nicholas Hilliard told him.
“It can only be met by a long sentence of imprisonment to protect the public.”
“I want a report from the probation service to determine the future risk the defendant poses to the public.”
After 12 jurors deliberated for 10 hours, Kirk Wynter was found guilty of attempted murder.
His sentencing will be held on September 1.
