The woman accused of killing nine-year-old Chantel Crump will have to wait until next year to learn if her case will go to trial.
Angela Mejia, who remains on remand at His Majesty’s Prison, appeared before Magistrate Ngaio Emanuel this week, but her committal hearing was postponed after her attorney, Wendel Alexander, failed to appear. The matter has been rescheduled for February 11, 2026.
The case stems from the March 15, 2025 discovery of Chantel’s body in bushes near her Weatherills home, hours after she was reported missing — a tragedy that sparked nationwide grief and calls for justice.

The game is on.
There are two cases I know will continue to be delayed, since the prosecutors are having hell with evidence
collected and they are Chantel and Asot case.
In Asot they hastily arrested this dude, but the complication of evidence spread across and inside the estate might make it difficult to get a guilty verdict.
In Chantel case yes the kidnapped and abduction case is clear, but murder! unless they know and have evidence not yet revealed to the public, as fingerprints and the true cause of death, we are in for a long bullshit ride.
