A hip-hop performer who called herself "the Michelangelo of buttocks injections" says she has been haunted since the 2011 death of a client injected with low-grade silicone.
Padge-Victoria Windslowe is testifying in her third-degree murder trial over the death of 20-year-old London break-dancer Claudia Aderotimi.
Windslowe says she believed the woman was in distress after the procedure in Philadelphia because she had been drinking alcohol. Windslowe says she reached an intermediary the next morning and was informed of the death with the words: "R.I.P., Baby."
Windslowe says she has injected "thousands" of people after being trained by a doctor in Thailand and one in South America who performed her 1994 sex-change operation.
She says she never intended to harm anyone and has used the same silicone on herself many times.
The 45-year-old faces 20 to 40 years in prison if convicted of third-degree murder.
