A 39-year-old Mexican man, Brigido Munoz, accused of murdering 20-year-old South African woman Paige Bell on a super yacht in Eleuthera, has been informed that he will enter a plea before the Supreme Court in December. Munoz, from Monterrey, Mexico, signed his voluntary bill of indictment on a murder charge before Chief Magistrate Roberto Reckley. The case has been transferred to Justice Guillimina Archer Minns, with the next court appearance scheduled for December 12. Munoz was also served a notice of alibi. The tragic incident occurred on July 3 aboard a yacht docked in Harbour Island, Eleuthera. Authorities discovered Bell’s body with visible injuries in the engine room after 1 pm that day. Munoz, who allegedly attempted suicide, sustained serious injuries to his arms and was treated at a local clinic. Both Munoz and Bell were crew members on the vessel. Bell’s parents, John and Michelle, expressed their profound grief, stating that their daughter’s murder ‘stole their world.’ Inspector Deon Barr is prosecuting the case.
