A 20-year-old young woman's life came to a horrific end aboard a luxury yacht anchored off a private island frequently visited by billionaires in the Bahamas.
Paige Bell from Johannesburg, South Africa, was found dead in the engine room of the $13 million yacht named "Far From It." Paige worked as a guest relations officer on the yacht. Her friends describe her as "a girl with a golden heart."
Suspect: Mexican Technician Working on the Same Yacht
A 39-year-old Mexican technician who worked on the same yacht was also found severely injured alongside Paige's body. Police stated that the man had cut his wrists and was found at the scene with a knife in his hand.
After the incident, the technician was taken into custody and charged with murder. The motive for the murder is still unclear, but it is believed that Paige tried to resist the attack.
Family Devastated: "We Are Going to the Bahamas to Bring Our Daughter Home"
Paige's family expressed their feelings in a statement:
"We are going to the Bahamas to bring our daughter home and to hold this monster accountable for taking her away from us.
This pain is too great to be described. Moreover, seeking justice abroad is both difficult and very costly.
Everyone who knew Paige — her former captain, the yacht owner, the crew — has been deeply affected by this loss.
Please do not forget us in your prayers."
Mourning Instead of 21st Birthday Celebration
In the days leading up to the incident, Paige's boyfriend was planning a birthday party for her. A big organization was prepared at the marina and on the yacht to celebrate her 21st birthday.
However, last week the crew became worried when they couldn't reach Paige. They first searched all passenger and crew cabins. Finally, when someone went down to the engine room, they found the young woman's lifeless body.
Police: "Suspicion of Murder and Suicide Attempt"
In a statement regarding the incident, the police said:
"We received a report around 1:00 PM on July 3rd. When we arrived at the scene, we found that the young woman had lost her life, and the suspect was severely injured.
We are considering the possibility that the incident may involve murder followed by a suicide attempt.
The suspect was officially brought before a judge today on murder charges."
Where Did the Incident Occur?
The incident took place on Harbour Island, located in the east of the Bahamas, which is known for being filled with celebrities. This island is referred to as the "backyard of billionaires."
Names like Bill Gates, Mick Jagger, Prince Harry, Tom Cruise, and the Kardashians frequently vacation here.
