Mexican man denied bail after being charged with murder of young SA woman in Bahamas

# A Mexican crewmember of a super yacht was denied bail after he was charged with the murder of a South African colleague in the Bahamas. The body of 20-year-old Paige Bell from Johannesburg was found on the vessel on a tiny island a week ago. The 39-year-old accused, Brigido Munoz, was found nearby with wounds believed to be from a suicide attempt. Bell was supposed to return home for her 21st birthday next week. Munoz will remain behind bars until the start of his hearing in November.
