Christiaan was strangled by Thomas Saltonstall. He also tied up D'Arcy and put him in the trunk of D'Arcy's car, which he then set on fire.
A friendship that began in beauty school ended with the slaying of a Farmington transsexual whose body was found in the trunk of a car abandoned on an I-84 exit ramp, police and other sources said Friday.
State police have accused Thomas H. Saltonstall, 20, of 36 Loomis Drive, West Hartford, of strangling Christiaan D'Arcy and driving the body, tied with white cord and placed in the trunk of D'Arcy's 1984 Pontiac, as far as the I-84 Asylum Street exit ramp in Hartford, where the car's engine caught fire.
Saying only that D'Arcy was an acquaintance of Saltonstall's, police would say nothing about why Saltonstall might have killed D'Arcy, a 40-year-old [trans man] who was in the process of [transitioning].
Saltonstall was subsequently sentenced to 32 years in prison.
