William Balfour Arrested for Hudson Family Murders Mon, 1-Dec-2008
Making progress in the tragic murders of Jennifer Hudson's family members, William Balfour has been arrested on charges stemming from the October 24th shooting deaths of Jennifer's mother, brother and young nephew.
According to breaking reports, Balfour, who is the estranged husband of Hudson's sister, Julia, has been incarcerated at an Illinois correctional facility for violating terms of his parole stemming from a 1999 conviction for attempted murder.
Now that he's been named as the defendant in the Hudson family murders, the 27-year-old has been transferred to Chicago police custody after being served a warrant for his arrest. After being transported to the Wentworth Area, Balfour will now be held until official charges are approved by the Cook County State's Attorney's office.
As for Miss Hudson, Vogue editor Andre Leon Talley told Us magazine, "She is doing very, very well. She's very strong. I think that she has such strength. There's so much strength within her that she's going to be okay. The message that she sent to me is that she appreciates all the messages of love that come from all the fans." |
