The grieving family of the South African “golden girl” crew member found dead in the Bahamas have traveled to the Caribbean nation to face the superyacht engineer accused of sexually assaulting and murdering their daughter.
Paige Bell was found partially undressed in the ship’s engine room on July 3 — just days before her 21st birthday — with Mexican national Brigido Munoz, 40, charged with her murder before a Nassau court on Wednesday.
As the grizzly details of her death were recounted before the court, the victim’s parents, Michelle and John Bell, were on the island to “begin the painful process of bringing their baby girl home,” the Daily Mail reported.
“Our family is facing an unimaginable journey,” Bell’s sister, Chelsey Jacobs, said in a statement, adding that her family is “seeking justice for the monster that took her life.”
