US singer D4vd to stand trial in killing of teenage girl

US singer D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, will face trial for the alleged murder and dismemberment of a 14-year-old girl named Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Prosecutors claim that Hernandez threatened to expose their illegal sexual relationship, prompting Burke to kill her. Evidence includes text messages from Hernandez threatening to end his career and her death occurring shortly before his debut album release. The prosecution alleges Burke used a chainsaw and other tools to dismember her body, which was later found in his Tesla. Burke denies the charges and claims Hernandez was violent and had mental health issues. His defense argues there was no intent to kill, while prosecutors argue the case lacks accidental elements. The trial is expected to continue with further hearings.
