Breaking News Killed and cooked trans woman was high-class 'shemale' sex worker

A TRANS woman murdered and cooked by her husband in their swank Brisbane apartment was a "high-class" prostitute using profits from sex work to support her family in Indonesia.

Mayang Prasetyo was charging up to $500 an hour for her services, marketing herself online as a “top high-class Asian shemale’’.
The married couple at the centre of the weekend’s grim murder-suicide had both recently spoken to family and given them no indication of problems in their relationship.
Yet friends of Ms Prasetyo said yesterday they had held concerns about her husband Marcus Peter Volke, 28, saying he was quiet, difficult to get to know and “extremely cold”.
As police continued to speak to witnesses yesterday and clean up the grisly inner-city unit, it was revealed Volke recently went to hospital with a cut hand, claiming to have been sliced by his partner.

Ms Prasetyo’s mother spoke exclusively to The Courier-Mail yesterday from her home in Lampung, Indonesia, saying she was devastated at the loss of her eldest child, whom she referred to as her son Febri, the family’s breadwinner. Febri sent money home to Indonesia to support the family, including two sisters, aged 18 and 15.
“He put the sisters through school,” Nining Sukarni said.
