Transgender woman killed in Georgia amid controversy over LGBTQ rights law

Kesaria Abramidze, a 37-year-old transgender woman and actress, was stabbed to death in her apartment in Tbilisi, Georgia. A 26-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the case. Abramidze was the first person in Georgia to publicly come out as transgender and had represented the country at the Miss Trans Star International contest in 2018. Her death is believed to be a premeditated attack and has been linked to the country's new anti-LGBT law, which has been criticized by rights groups.
