Judge to weigh whether D4vd will stand trial in teen Celeste Rivas murder

At a four‑day Los Angeles preliminary hearing, a judge will decide whether prosecutors have enough evidence to move 21‑year‑old singer D4vd (David Burke) to trial for the murder and dismemberment of 14‑year‑old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Prosecutors say Burke lured the girl to a Hollywood Hills home, stabbed her multiple times, and dismembered her body in a garage with chainsaws, and that she had threatened to expose their relationship; Burke has pleaded not guilty to murder, continuous sexual abuse of a minor and unlawful mutilation of human remains. The hearing, which will resemble a mini‑trial without a jury, marks the first public presentation of the evidence against him.
