LAS VEGAS -- The sister of a slain Las Vegas Strip performer was removed from a North Las Vegas courtroom on Wednesday after an outburst directed at the woman’s suspected killer.
Celeste Flores Narvaez shouted, “I hope you rot in hell,” and several profanities at Jason “Blu” Griffith as Griffith was being arraigned on charges of murder, battery domestic violence and destroying evidence.
She was escorted out of the courtroom by bailiffs on the verge of tears. Flores Narvaez later told FOX5's Stefanie Jay that she called the judge to apologize for her behavior.
Police said Griffith killed 31-year-old Debora Flores Narvaez, a dancer in Luxor’s “Fantasy” show, following an argument on Dec. 15, and then sealed her body in concrete within a plastic tub.
A witness, Louis Colombo, told police Griffith later removed the body from the tub, sawed off Flores Narvaez’s legs, and then re-sealed the body in two other containers before hiding it in the closet of a vacant home.
Griffith is also a Strip performer, in Cirque du Soleil's "Love" at the Mirage. He is being held without bail and is due back in court on Feb. 15.
Celeste Flores Narvaez said she plans to take her sister's body back to Puerto Rico on Monday to be buried.
