William Balfour arrested for Hudson family slayings

Actresssi_jims_16105051_600_4 Chicago police have (finally) arrested William Balfour for the murders of Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Hudson's family members.

Balfour, 27, has been in custody for a parole violation in Stateville Correctional Center, according to the Chicago Tribune.

He was transferred to Chicago police custody immediately after police served a warrant for his arrest Monday.

He was then quickly transported to the Wentworth Area, where he will be held pending charges approved by the Cook County State's Attorney's Office.

At a closed hearing last month, investigators gave evidence that Balfour had a gun matching the weapon used in the slayings of Hudson's mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew.

Balfour is the estranged husband of Hudson's sister, Julia.

Let's hope this puts the family's minds to rest and the legal process and trial can now proceed.

crazy world!

fame doesnt really mean much if your family are gone. im glad she is staying strong bc things happen it is very tragic but she will be fine everything always works out when you keep the right attitude

I hope he rots forever in a jail cell. Poor Jennifer -I only hope she finds some peace. What was her sister thinking marrying such a thug? May her family rest in peace..
