For the first time since her arrest, alleged child killer Angela Mejia was caught on camera as she made a brief court appearance this morning.

The accused, charged with the murder of 9-year-old Chantel Crump, was heavily guarded and wore a bulletproof vest as she was remanded for another week.

This procedure follows Section 239 of the Magistrate’s Code of Procedure Act, which states that a prisoner should not be remanded for more than eight clear days at a time.

But prisoners won’t have to be physically brought to court much longer.

Virtual remands are set to begin soon following an amendment to the law that was gazetted last Monday.

  5. Did she put on bulletproof vest on chantelle?

    But trust me, I do understand the reason for the bulletproof vest.I would not want her to die either until she speak out openly and confess to all the persons involved and all the cases that they are involved in

  10. What about grace? Mercy? Forgiveness? I know this may come across wrong and I believe in a life for a life. But perhaps her soul.can be saved? I agree she should die but if she confesses and is sorry her would could also be saved while she is killed in the flesh
