Family members of a 20-year-old who was k!lled on a vessel have made an appeal to the public in the wake of the tragic death of their child.
The Paige Bell family members have traveled to the Bahamas to seek justice after she was accused of being m**dered aboard the luxury megayacht Far From It, just days prior to turning 21.
Paige, loved by family and colleagues and known by her friends as “beautiful Paigey” with a sparkling spirit, a rousing laugh, and unending compassion, was discovered de@d and untidy inside the engine room of the yacht on July 3, while it was anchored at the prestigious Harbour Island resort, a place for the wealthy and famous that is located 60 miles to the east of Nassau.
The Royal Bahamas Police Force said officers spotted a woman not responding with visible injuries inside the engine room just after 1:00 PM, with a doctor from the local area attending the scene and pronouncing her de@d.
Police stated that Paige was absent for a brief period of time prior to her being found with the suspect male present.
The suspect, 39-year-old Mexican citizen Brigido Munoz, 39 years old engineer who was working alongside Paige in the PS9.5 million ($13 million) yacht, was discovered close to her body with serious arm injuries in the police report as a possible suicide attempt.
The suspect was arrested, escorted, warned, and then transported to a nearby hospital to get medical treatment, the police said, and was later arrested for m*rder.
Police found Paige was suffering from slash marks to her neck, as well as defense injuries to her arms and arms, indicating she was trying to stop her suspected attacker. Prosecutors also claimed in court that she could be s**ually @ssaulted.
The details surrounding her death are under examination.
Munoz was in court with magistrates in Nassau on the 9th of July and was indicted for m*rder, but he was not required to sign an agreement. Chief Magistrate Roberto Reckley denied him bail and ordered him to be held in the custody of Nassau magistrates ahead of the hearing set to take place on the 20th of November.
The parents of Paige’s grief, Michelle and John Bell, took off for the Bahamas this week to begin the difficult procedure of returning their infant girl home, as reported in the Daily Mail.
Her elder sister, Chelsey Jacobs, released a devastating statement saying that the family of ours is going through an incredible adventure, she wrote, and added that they’re looking for justice for the person who claimed her life.
This devastating loss was felt by all who were a part of “Paigey,” the captain she was once with, her owner of the boat, the crew aboard, and the entire community, Chelsey stated, noting her family was “devastated beyond words.” Now, we have to navigate complicated and costly legal processes in a different country, which is far beyond our means financially.
We appreciate your support, love, and support during this painful time. explained that the family requested that everyone keep us in your prayers and thoughts in the fight to save Paigey.

In honor of her, the mother of her child has requested that all of us eat red velvet cake (her preferred) on this day. We will also take a picture in memory of the gorgeous soul she was, according to People.
