The woman accused of murder in the homicide of 9-year old Chantel Crump has been remanded at His Majesty’s Prison until June 4.
The woman – 20-Angela Mejia – of Glanville’s appeared in the Magistrate’s Court on Monday to answer the charge. She appeared before the court unrepresented by a lawyer, but she has since indicated to the court that she wants to be represented by an attorney.
Senior Magistrate Ngaio Emanuel adjourned the committal proceedings until June 4. Mejia has been remanded to prison until that time.
The police are alleging that on Wednesday 12 March, 2025, Mejia murdered Chantel Crump at Glanville’s in the Parish of St. Phillip in the Magisterial District ‘B’ contrary to Common Law.
Meanwhile, the police have not yet charged the man suspected to have had a role in Chantel’s death as the police have intensified their investigation into the homicide.
It is believed that Mejia have not provided any evidence linking the man to the child’s abduction and death even as the police are of the view that the accused woman did not act alone.
The police have dismissed suggestions that Chantel’s body had been mutilated as has been claimed on many social media postings.
