Maxwell Thomas Berty Confait (born in the Seychelles in 1945), known as Michelle to her friends, was a 26-year-old trans woman who was murdered in London, England, on either 21 or 22 April 1972. The investigation into Confait's death and the convictions of three youths based on false confessions raised questions about police procedures in the United Kingdom and caused a major review in how police treat suspects, particularly minors and "the educationally subnormal."
