Angela Mejia Remanded to Prison; Placed in Isolation

You can now listen to Antigua News articles!

20-Year-Old Angela Mejia

Angela Mejia, a 20-year-old, has been sent to His Majesty’s Prison and placed in isolation.

She allegedly killed 9-year-old Chantel Crump.

Mejia appeared before Magistrate Ngaio Emanuel without legal representation during an early morning court session.

Security measures around the courthouse were significantly increased, with police establishing blockades and restricting access to the High Street building.

According to reports, Mejia allegedly took the child from Grays Farm on the afternoon of March 12.

The Five Islands School student was dressed in her uniform as she was on her way home from school.

Mejia is said to have brought her to Glanvilles, where she was killed.

It is alleged that the defendant admitted to the crime and took the police to where the body of the child was left in Weatherills.

The accused will remain incarcerated while awaiting her next court appearance on June 4 for committal proceedings.

She has indicated that she wishes to obtain legal counsel.

    ofc she would want a lawyer. she’s working in a group and they already have a lawyer. im sure another sacrifice will be made to win her over this case. Angela is not working alone and she has her people behind her. This is all planned. Authorities need to do better investigation and stop protecting her. This will just happen to another person child. maybe just they may not find the person who did it this time. let’s be frl. all these vehicles driving around without license plate check them and leave me without my seatbelt.

    I would have expected that because if they only put this woman in isolation all hell will break loose..
    Even in isolation she still at risk. Make sure she never makes it to general population

    This is so sad and unbelievable. Antigua is getting worse and worse everyday and I don’t think the prime minister is being serious about these kind of madness.

    This is a tourism country where people enjoy the whole nation, now it’s scary, children are not even safe anymore.

    Do something about this Gaston Browne
    Your unbelievable.

    I am canceling my ticket for carnival, I am scared of my life alone with my kids life.

    Wow just wow
