14yr old girl killed & set on fire by boyfriend because he thought she was pregnant
by her 20 year old boyfriend who then burnt her
body and dumped her remains on a beach just
because he thought she was pregnant.
Below is how New York Post is reporting it: The family of the 14-year-old Brooklyn girl
who was allegedly killed by her boyfriend and
dumped on a beach blasted him this morning
for cowardly slaying her after he thought she
was pregnant. Police had arrested Christian Ferdinand, 20, in
Maine on Tuesday, where he had fled after he
allegedly suffocated Shaniesha Forbes, 14,
and burnt her body before dumping the
remains at Gerritsen Beach. "On the record, she wasn’t pregnant at all. As a 20-
year-old man, that is something you could easily
find out,” said her devastated cousin Kerry-Anne
Thomas. “You had the courage and the balls to kill
her and bring her body, and lay her on the beach.
But you couldn’t go to the pharmacy to buy a pregnancy test to find out if it was actually true.” Detectives yesterday drove Ferdinand back to the
63rd Precinct station house in Brooklyn, where he
allegedly admitted to killing Forbes in January after
coming to believe she was pregnant. He was charged with second-degree murder, and
has not been arraigned yet. The victim’s weeping mother Sandra Price thanked
the police for catching the killer, as did her
grandmother Daisy Smith. "I’m very grateful for the job that the two main
detectives have done,” she said. “They did a
wonderful job catching the killer and getting him for
the street, and hopefully putting him away for life.
That’s what I think he deserves.” Smith said the family hadn’t been eating or
sleeping since the girl’s death. “I’m so happy they
caught this guy who killed my granddaughter,” she
said. “There was nothing we could do, only wait…
Bring him justice.” Sources said Ferdinand suffocated the aspiring
nurse — who was, in fact, not pregnant — in his
apartment. He then kept her body in his home for a
couple of days, sources said. Finally, he allegedly put the corpse into a suitcase
and brought it onto the beach, where he tried to get
rid of it by setting it on fire. Cops recovered the suitcase the killer used to
transport Forbes’ body from his Maine hideout and
also took floorboards from his former Brooklyn
apartment, the sources said. Relatives said never met Ferdinand, and was not
sure how he met Forbes. Thomas speculated that
they may have met through social media. Honestly there shouldn’t have been a relationship.
He was a 20-year-old man and she was a 14-year-
old child,” she said. “As an adult, which he is, he
should have known it was inappropriate to have
any type of a relationship with a 14-year-old.” Forbes was a student at the Academy of Young
Writers in East New York.
