US singer D4vd to go on trial for murder in death of teen
The star is accused of killing Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose remains were found in a Tesla registered to his address.
American singer D4vd is slated to stand trial for murder in connection with the death of a teenage girl, a judge has determined.
This ruling follows a five-day preliminary hearing where Los Angeles prosecutors presented a dozen witnesses and photographic evidence. The family of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was present throughout the proceedings.
The musician, legally known as David Anthony Burke, is accused of killing Hernandez, whose remains were discovered last September in a Tesla registered to his address.
Burke, 21, has entered a plea of not guilty to charges of murder and sexual abuse.
Text messages indicate that the 14-year-old, allegedly murdered by singer D4vd, had experienced pregnancy and an abortion.
