Britten Faces Trial in Nola Dinkins Case | Baltimore News

Jury selection kicks off in Cecil County for the trial of Cedrick Britten, accused of helping girlfriend Darrian Randle hide the body of three-year-old Nola Dinkins after she allegedly beat her to death with a belt. Randle, already convicted of murder and child abuse, lied to police about a kidnapping, leading authorities to their home — where she confessed and admitted to the fatal assault. Britten is charged with aiding in concealing the body by wrapping it in plastic, placing it in a suitcase, and dumping it at an abandoned property. Nola’s grandmother mourns her granddaughter’s tragic loss, while Randle awaits sentencing in October 2026, facing life without parole. The case hinges on whether Britten knowingly participated in covering up one of the most horrific crimes against a child in recent memory.
