(Loop Caribbean) – Twenty-year-old Angela Mejia has been remanded to His Majesty’s Prison following the charge of the brutal murder of 9-year-old Chantel Crump.
According to police reports, Mejia allegedly picked up Crump from Grays Farm last Wednesday before driving her to Glanvilles, where the child’s life was tragically taken.
Authorities have yet to fully disclose the details surrounding the young girl’s death, but the crime has sparked an overwhelming outpouring of grief and disbelief throughout the region.
Mejia appeared in court earlier today before Magistrate Ngaio Emmanuel, where she requested legal representation.
In light of the gravity of the charges, strict security measures were enforced to restrict access to the courthouse area, local media reported.
Mejia, who is believed to be incarcerated in isolation for safety reasons, is scheduled to return to court on June 4 for committal proceedings. During this hearing, more details of the case are expected to emerge, providing further insight into the chilling circumstances surrounding the child’s tragic death.
The case continues to shock the nation, as residents grapple with the senseless loss of a young life. Authorities have urged anyone with information related to the crime to come forward as investigations continue.
