Meet The Man Who Killed & Set 14-Year-Old Girlfriend On Fire Because He Thought She was Pregnant

The man accused of killing a 14-year-old Brooklyn teen did so because she allegedly told him she was pregnant with his child and refused to have an abortion, according to the New York Daily News.

Christian Ferdinand, 20, admitted to killing Shaniesha Forbes, officials said. He is charged with homicide by asphyxiation. Authorities arrested him in Maine.

Despite Ferdinand’s pregnancy claims, the city’s medical examiner noted Forbes wasn’t pregnant at the time of her death. His alleged words and the official findings set off Forbes’ cousin.

“You had the courage and the balls to kill her but you couldn’t go to the pharmacy to buy a pregnancy test to find out if it was true?” Kerri Ann Thomas said in Brooklyn Federal Court. “That makes no sense.”

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.”
