A “bubbly” and “outgoing” 16-year-old girl in Florida was allegedly murdered by her ex-boyfriend, with the teenage suspect using an “edged weapon” to hack the young victim to death — after she celebrated her birthday two weeks earlier — before dumping her body in a nature preserve, cops say.
Cameron Cubel, 16, of Hernando County, was indicted last week by a grand jury on a charge of first-degree murder for the “tragic” slaying of Abbriella Elliott sometime before she was found at the Cypress Lake Preserve on March 27, according to the state attorney’s office.
“Cubel unlawfully and from a premeditated design murdered Abbriella Faye Elliott, by inflicting multiple sharp force injuries causing her to die,” prosecutors said in an April 17 press release. “Cubel remains in custody on no-bond status in a juvenile detention facility. He will later be transferred to Hernando County and tried as an adult.”
