Los Angeles (CNS) - The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office announced today that singer D4vd has been indicted for the murder of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Her dismembered body was discovered in a Tesla believed to be abandoned by him seven months prior. The 21-year-old singer was arrested on the 16th of this month. Los Angeles County Prosecutor Nathan Hochman announced at a press conference that D4vd is charged with first-degree murder with special circumstances, continuous sexual abuse, lascivious acts against a minor under 14, and dismembering a body. Family members of Rivas Hernandez have largely remained out of the public eye since her body was discovered. The appointed lawyer stated, "The family is committed to making Celeste's voice heard and preserving her memory throughout this process." Meanwhile, D4vd's legal team stated they intend to vigorously defend the singer's innocence, saying he was detained solely due to his alleged involvement and that "the actual evidence in this case will prove that David Burke did not kill Celeste Rivas Hernandez, and he is not the cause of her death." D4vd's real name is David Anthony Burke. (Translated by: Lu Ying-tzu) 1150421. Stand with the facts, your sponsorship is the power to protect news freedom.
