A notorious serial killer has been moved out of her Western Sydney home after a push to have her removed by the local community.
Reginald Arthurell, who is responsible for the deaths of three people, including his fiance, was released on parole in November.
Arthurell, 74, came out as transgender while behind bars and now goes by the name of Regina Kaye.

Kaye has been living in Yagoona retirement home since her release from prison.
But on Friday afternoon, the 74-year-old was removed from the village by caseworkers.
She was offered a halfway house at Malabar, in Sydney’s south east, but chose not to live there.
Canterbury Bankstown Mayor Khal Asfour earlier expressed he didn’t want Kaye living in his city, describing the killer as a “grub”.
“Not welcome in my city!,” Asfour wrote on Facebook.
“I am outraged that convicted serial killer Regina Kaye, formerly known as Reginald Kenneth Arthurell has been allowed to live in our city under a cloud of secrecy.
“Residents of the retirement facility at Yagoona where Kaye is now staying should have been told of the killer’s presence.
“Our city and community deserve better and the authorities must explain how they plan to stop this person from reoffending.”
Most of Kaye’s neighbours had no idea who she was until they saw photos of her circulating in the media.
One neighbour said she was “relieved” that Kaye had been moved.
“I’m glad the media got onto where he lived, with us,” one neighbour told 7NEWS, adding she was “disgusted” no one had told her.
“I can’t believe the parole board put him here.”
In 1997, Kaye fatally bashed her fiance Venet Mulhall in her Coonabarabran home in with a piece of wood.
She was released on parole in November after spending 24 years in prison for murder.
Arthurell had already killed two people when he met Venet Mulhall.
Aged 28, he killed his stepfather, Thomas Thornton, with a carving knife.
Several years later he and another man robbed and killed 19-year-old Ross Browning.
Kaye’s parole ends on May 24, but an Interim Supervision Order taken out by the NSW Attorney-General Mark Speakman will immediately come into force.
