A heavy police presence surrounds St. John’s Magistrates’ Court as 20-year-old Angela Mejia is set to make her first court appearance today, charged with the murder of 9-year-old Chantel Crump.
Authorities have set up roadblocks to maintain order as calls for swift justice grow louder.
Chantel was last seen alive last Wednesday when she was taken in a Honda car in Gray’s Farm while heading home from school.
Police say she waved to her friends from the vehicle.
