NASSAU, Bahamas, CMC – A 38-year-old man will re-appear in court on May 1, 2025, after he was charged with the sexual assault and murder of 12-year-old school girl, Adriel Moxey, whose body was found in bushes near her home on November 20. 2024.
Police say that Chris Ferguson is responsible for the death of the seventh-grade student at Anatol Rodgers High School and that she had been raped and murdered by him.
Ferguson faces the death penalty if found guilty of the charges given that he is charged under a section of the Penal Code that would allow prosecutors to seek the death penalty.
He was not required to enter pleas to the charges when he appeared in court on Monday before Chief Magistrate Roberto Reckley, who informed the accused that a lawyer would be appointed in the Supreme Court.
The matter has been adjourned to May 1, 2025, for the presentation of a voluntary bill of indictment.
