Willingboro, NJ, man charged with fatally stabbing his brother
A Willingboro man has been charged for allegedly fatally stabbing his brother following an argument last weekend.
Burlington County Prosecutor LaChia Bradshaw's office says 26-year-old Carl Agyemang was charged with first-degree murder and related weapons offenses following the death of his brother, Floyd, who was 23.
According to officials, an investigation began Saturday morning, August 24th, when officers from the Willingboro Township Police Department were called to the first block of Hepburn Lane for a report of a stabbing. There, they found Floyd Agyemang with a stab wound to his chest. He was taken to Cooper University Hospital in Camden where he died later that day.
Carl Agyemang fled on foot but was arrested in the area a short time later. Police say a knife was recovered from his person that is believed to have been used in the fatal assault.
He remains lodged in the Burlington County Jail in Mount Holly pending a detention hearing in Superior Court.
The public is reminded that charges are accusations and all persons are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
