Exclusive | Yearbook photo shows killer Robin Westman’s first year living as a woman

A yearbook photograph shows crazed Minnesota killer Robin Westman during his first year living as a woman — years before he unleashed a mass shooting in his former church as an elementary school was observing mass.

The picture was included in the Southwest High School’s 2019-2020 yearbook and shared with The Post by a former classmate.

Westman, a junior at the time, sported short, curly brown hair, and a pink blouse.

The future killer paired the outfit with a pair of dangly earrings, a chunky gold necklace and what appears to be a light pink lip stain.

The put-together look was a stark difference from the following year’s senior picture — where he was seen with puffy hair that had been dyed orange and wearing a blue T-shirt that clashed with his purple graduation robes.

The yearbook photograph was taken the same year Westman formally changed his name from Robert to Robin, a move his mother signed off on.

During his high school years, Westman documented several concerning diary entries in which he celebrated the massacres at Sandy Hook Elementary School, the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, and the mosque shootings in Christchurch, New Zealand, among others.

Before graduating from Southwest High School in 2021, Westman attended Saint Thomas Academy, a Catholic all-boys school where students are called cadets, dress in uniforms and are trained in military leadership, as well as a Minnesota Transitions charter school, which is dedicated to students who struggle in traditional school environments.

Westman ultimately came to regret transitioning into a woman, a confession he made in a twisted handwritten journal he shared on YouTube before the massacre — much of which is encrypted in a homespun code of Russian Cyrillic script and English words.

“I only keep [the long hair] because it is pretty much my last shred of being trans. I am tired of being trans, I wish I never brain-washed myself,” he wrote, according to a translation by The Post.

He also blamed his mother for his decision to kill “so many people” at a Catholic school after she warned him that he would regret transitioning to female.

“Your words, mother, made me stay in my discomfort unable to ask for help to avoid admitting defeat. You were right mama, but the way you handled it led me to wanting to kill so so many people,” he wrote.

Westman killed Fletcher Merkel, 8, and Harper Moyski, 10, who were praying in the pews of Annunciation Church just before 8:30 a.m. before turning the gun on himself.

Several more victims, including 12-year-old Sophie Forchas and 13-year-old Endre Gunter remained in the hospital Saturday in critical condition.
