Balfour indicted for Hudson slayings
December 30, 2008
William Balfour was formally indicted Tuesday for the slayings of three members of singer-actress Jennifer Hudson’s family in Chicago.
Hudson’s mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew were shot and killed in October.
E! News said Balfour, the estranged husband of Hudson’s sister, Julia, was indicted Tuesday on murder and home invasion charges following a brief court hearing.
Balfour and his attorney have insisted Balfour did not commit the triple homicide.
The suspect is being held without bond on a parole violation at Illinois’ Stateville Correctional Center.
Hudson is best known for her Oscar-winning performance in the big-screen musical Dreamgirls.
Her other screen credits include the movies Sex and the City
and The Secret Life of Bees.
