MIAMI (WSVN) - The former school administrator accused in the murder of the Miami Gardens woman who, authorities said, worked at the same school and was a lifelong friend appeared in bond court.

Ernest Roberts, a former assistant principal at Norland Senior High School, was denied bond on Saturday after being charged with one count of premeditated murder.

The suspect was charged on Friday for the murder of test proctor Kameela Russell.

Her body was found in a Miami Gardens canal about a mile away from Roberts’ home.
