William Balfour Arrested for Hudson Murders

Posted on December 1st, 2008 by by Melody

William Balfour, Julia Hudson’s estranged husband, was officially charged and arrested today for the murders of Jennifer Hudson’s mother, brother, and nephew.

William Balfour, 27, was first detained for questioning on October 24, the day Hudson’s mother and brother were found shot to death. Authorities said at the time that they were holding Balfour for an unspecified parole violation.

Police later found a handgun near the vehicle.

Detectives served arrest warrants on Balfour on Monday afternoon, said Chicago police spokeswoman Monique Bond.

Balfour was transferred from the Statesville Correctional Center to the custody of detectives in the case, she said, and he is awaiting formal charges on three counts of murder. [SOURCE]

Still such a horrible tragedy, however I am glad justice is being served. Hopefully, Jennifer and family are finding healing during this time.
