The 17-year-old suspect in the murder of a paddleboarder earlier this month will appear in court on Friday, where he is expected to be charged with one count of murder.

A 17-year-old has been arrested in connection with the killing of a woman who disappeared this month while paddle boarding near a remote island in Maine, the Maine State Police said on Thursday.

The medical examiner later revealed her cause of death to be strangulation and head trauma, citing the “unusual circumstances” around her demise.
