Jennifer Hudson's brother-in-law formally indicted on murder and home invasion charges

Jennifer Hudson's brother-in-law has been formally indicted on murder and home invasion charges following the killings of her mother, brother and nephew in October.
William Balfour was indicted on the same four counts he was formally charged with earlier this month - three counts of first degree murder and one of home invasion - at a hearing in a Chicago court .
Balfour - who is the estranged husband of Jennifer's sister Julia - is accused of murdering the singer's mother Darnell Donerson, 57, brother Jason Hudson, 29, and seven-year-old nephew Julian King on October 24.
He denies all involvement in the killings, and is currently being held without bond on a parole violation at Illinois' Stateville Correctional Center.
Balfour's attorney Joshua Kutnick insists his client is innocent and claims there is no hard evidence linking him to the crimes.
Kutnick said: "The police believe it is William Balfour, but the problem is what they have done. They find their suspect and build evidence around the suspect. That's not the way it should work. They should gather evidence and it should lead to a suspect.
"This was the convenient person to go to. It is bolstered by the fact that it took them so long to get him arrested and charged."
During the short hearing, Balfour's attorney Joshua Kutnick asked for him to be transferred to the Cook County Jail in order to make it easier for him to communicate with his family and legal team.
The judge will rule on the request at Balfour's next hearing, scheduled for January 20.
It has previously been alleged that Balfour killed Darnell, Jason and Julian after becoming overcome with envy when he saw Julia receive a birthday present from a new boyfriend.
A suspect linked to the death of Mark Ruffalo's brother is to be arrested for murder, it has been claimed.
The name of the suspect is yet to be released, but law enforcement officers are reportedly planning to arrest someone in connection with the death of Scott next month.
Gossip website TMZ claim that the unidentified person will be charged with murder once they are apprehended.
Scott died in hospital earlier this month after being discovered in his Beverly Hills apartment with a gunshot wound to his head.
In was initially claimed his death was a result of a game of Russian roulette, but a coroner has since ruled Scott was murdered.
Shortly after the shooting, police began speaking to "person of interest" Shaha Mishaal Adham, who was on the surveillance video at the Scott's home.
Adham admitted leaving the scene following the death after collecting a set of car keys and was cleared of all charges.
She claims Scott's death was a result of a lethal game of chance gone wrong, and her lawyer Ronald Richards has disputed the coroner's verdict.
Richards said at the time: "The only two eye witnesses to the shooting saw the same thing, a gunshot wound to the left side of the head, while one of them saw him pull the trigger.
"They saw the gun in his left hand after the shot was fired."
