16-year-old detained awaiting trial in Carnival Horizon stepsister murder
Timothy Hudson, 16, the Florida teen charged with first-degree murder and aggravated sexual abuse in the death of his 18-year-old stepsister Anna Kepner aboard a Carnival Horizon cruise ship, was ordered detained pending trial. Initially a juvenile, he has since been charged as an adult. He will be held by U.S. Marshals for a mental health evaluation and then transferred to a Miami-Dade juvenile facility ahead of a September trial, facing up to life in prison if convicted. Kepner’s death, ruled a homicide, occurred while the ship was in international waters near PortMiami.
