Hickerson later told police he and Ms Whigham had sex at the hotel before she told him she was transgender.
“I lost it, I lost it,” he said, adding he did not remember much afterwards.
He was jailed for 40 years without parole after pleading guilty to second-degree murder. He will also have to serve 15 years for a robbery charge after taking Whigham’s purse and mobile phone. Hickerson could have faced the death penalty if he had been convicted of capital murder.
Ms Whigham’s mother, Vickie Blackney Whigham, criticised Hickerson’s sentence.”I think the plea is a slap in the face,” she said. “He gets a chance to see his family and I don’t have that chance with my child.”
