US singer D4vd to stand trial on murder charge

The U.S. musician D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, faces murder charges and will stand trial after a five-day hearing in Los Angeles confirmed sufficient evidence for prosecution. According to the indictment, Burke is accused of stabbing a 14-year-old girl and dismembering her body. The alleged victim had threatened to expose Burke and damage his career shortly before she disappeared in April 2025, prompting him to kill her to silence her. Burke has pleaded not guilty to all charges, which include repeated child sexual abuse and dismemberment of a corpse. If convicted, he could face life imprisonment without parole or even the death penalty.
