US singer D4vd to go on trial for murder in death of 14-year-old

Core point

US musician D4vd has been ordered to stand trial for the murder of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The decision followed a five-day preliminary hearing where prosecutors presented evidence, including graphic photographs. D4vd has pleaded not guilty to the charges, which include murder and sexual abuse, and is scheduled to be formally charged on August 31. The prosecution alleges that he killed Hernandez to prevent her from revealing their relationship, which he feared would damage his music career.
