A young superyacht stewardess has been found dead along with her throat slit contained in the boat’s engine room during a Bahamas trip.
Paige Bell, 20, was found dead last Thursday while the luxurious boat, Far From It, was moored on Harbour Island.
She was discovered partially undressed with wounds to her neck and injuries to her arms.
Boat engineer Brigido Munoz, 39, has been charged along with her murder.
He was denied bail and remanded in custody.
Paige, from Johannesburg, South Africa, was because of turn 21 next week, with a celebration planned to mark her birthday on Monday.
She was reported missing while on the boat, with colleagues saying that they had not seen her for a while.
Officers then discovered her within the engine room with Munoz who had injuries to his arm which police said are consistent with a suicide attempt.


Munoz was taken to hospital and later charged along with her murder.
Far From It hosts as much as 10 guests with nine crew members, and included five suites.
It costs between £100,000 and £120,000 per week for vacations.
Former colleagues from Motor Yacht Sweet Emocean, where Paige worked until December 2024, wrote on a tribute to her on a GoFundMe page.
They said: ‘Paige was greater than a teammate, she was family.
‘Her radiant spirit, infectious laughter, and boundless compassion made an unforgettable impact on everyone lucky enough to know her.


‘Whether it was long days at sea or quiet moments under the celebs, she brought light and heat wherever she went.’
Paige’s mum is now asking everyone to eat red velvet cake, which was daughter’s favourite, and share a photograph in her memory.
The GoFundMe page, which has already raised $42,000 of its initial $16,000 goal, included tributes from friends.
One described Paife as a ‘golden girl’, and described her death as ‘despicable’.
