D4vd charged with murder

The murder case against alt-pop star D4vd has taken a dark turn as new evidence of child sexual abuse has been presented in a Los Angeles courtroom.

The 14-year-old victim's remains were found in the trunk of a vehicle registered to the singer last year, following her disappearance from Lake Elsinore.

While D4vd's legal team maintains his innocence, an unsealed autopsy report detailed gruesome injuries that have shocked the local community.

A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for early May as prosecutors continue to review 'voluminous' digital data recovered from the suspect's iCloud account.
