How BoyFriend Killed 14yr Old GirlFriend & Set On Fire,Thinking She Was Pregnant

Shaniesha Forbes, 14, (pictured above) was killed 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.
