LOS ANGELES, United States (AFP) — The body of a teenage girl found in the trunk of US singer D4vd’s car had been decomposed to the point it was “unrecognisable,” a police detective testified in a Los Angeles court on Tuesday.

The 21-year-old D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, faces several charges, including murder in the horrifying death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

Her body was discovered in Burke’s Tesla last September within days of what would have been her 15th birthday.
