US EditionProsecutors say singer D4vd stabbed 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez to death to silence her
Prosecutors say the singer killed the 14-year-old after she threatened to reveal their sexual relationship and derail his music career.
- On Wednesday, Los Angeles County prosecutors filed a detailed evidentiary brief alleging singer D4vd murdered and dismembered 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez to silence her threats to expose their relationship.
- Burke allegedly began a sexual relationship with Rivas Hernandez when she was 13 and he was 18; prosecutors say he killed her after she threatened to 'end his career and destroy his life.'
- Forensic evidence includes blue plastic fragments from an inflatable pool found embedded in the victim's remains, matching tools Burke purchased under fake name Victoria Mendez to 'dismember and dispose of the victim's body.'
- Defense attorneys Blair Berk, Marilyn Bednarski, and Regina Peter stated 'the actual evidence in this case will show that David Burke did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez,' as a May 26 preliminary hearing approaches.
- If convicted of murder with special circumstances, Burke faces life in prison or the death penalty; prosecutors continue building their case following discovery of Rivas Hernandez's remains in his abandoned Tesla last September.
