Paige Bell, 20, lifeless body was found on a luxury superyacht in the Bahamas, Caribbean, on 3 July 2025.
It is alleged that Paige was discovered partially undressed, with her throat slit and clear signs that she had struggled with her attacker. According to reports, she had been missing for a short period before her body was found in the engine room, with the suspect present. Paige may also have been sexually assaulted. Police arrested a Mexican national, Brigido Munoz, 40, who worked as an engineer on the same yacht. He was formally charged with murder.
Paige, originally from Durban, was living her dream overseas and had been working as a crew member on the superyacht. She was supposed to return to South Africa to celebrate her 21st birthday with her family on 14 July. Her grieving family has already travelled to the Bahamas to arrange her cremation and bring her home.
