United KingdomUS musician D4vd, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke, will face trial for the murder of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. A judge ruled this after a five-day preliminary hearing where prosecutors presented graphic evidence, including photos and testimonies from witnesses. Prosecutors claim Burke stabbed and dismembered the girl after years of alleged sexual abuse, allegedly motivated by her threats to expose his relationship with a minor and harm his music career. Evidence included threatening texts from Hernandez to Burke, who had previously sent an Uber to pick her up. Burke's defense argues there is insufficient evidence, pointing to the lack of surveillance footage and uncertainty around the cause of the fatal wounds. They also noted that Hernandez's parents reportedly knew about their relationship and gave written consent for her to travel with Burke.
