The only suspect in the triple murder of singer and actress Jennifer Hudson‘s mother, brother and nephew, William Balfour, continues to be held on a probation violation. A decision is expected today by the Illinois Prisoner Review Board on whether he violated the terms of his parole. He has yet to be charged with murder.

A recent turn of events was reported by the Chicago Tribune, who claim that Balfour’s girlfriend told police that William admitted to her that he was at the home where the murders and abduction took place the day of the crime and that he was indeed involved in the murders.

This alleged confession may be what prosecutors have needed in order to bring charges against Balfour. It seems unlikely they will turn him loose, no matter what the parole board decides. Let justice be served!
