D4vd to Stand Trial for Celeste’s Murder | Canada News

Singer D4vd, real name David Burke, faces trial for the murder of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, with charges including murder, sexual abuse of a minor, and unlawful mutilation. A judge approved the case after prosecutors presented damning evidence — autopsy photos, texts, and purchases like a shovel and body bag — alleging Burke killed her after she threatened to expose their relationship. Burke denies all charges, arguing lack of intent, but prosecutors say the evidence shows a clear pattern of grooming and abuse. Her remains were found in a Tesla registered to Burke. The case could lead to the death penalty, and Burke’s next court date is August 31. The victim’s family says they’re relieved the preliminary hearing is over and grateful for the justice system’s efforts.
