Suspect William Balfour Arrested for Hudson Family Murders
Jennifer Hudson’s brother-in-law, William Balfour was arrested on Monday for the murders of Hudson’s mom, brother, and nephew. Formal charges have not been set against Balfour yet, but he was transferred from an Illinois State prison to police custody. Balfour is currently serving in prison for a parole violation. He has also previously served time in the past for car hijacking and attempted murder.
Balfour had married Jennifer’s sister back in December 2006, but recently had been thrown out of the house due to fights with the family and his wife. He has made threats against the Hudson family when they fought and after he was thrown out of the house. The police have been looking into him as a suspect and it is believed that with the talks with one of Balfour’s girlfriends police were able to find out what happened with the murders.
I just hope that this guy gets what he deserves and that Jennifer’s family can have peace over the situation.
