A motive for the triple killing of singer Jennifer Hudson’s mother, brother, and nephew has been established, and it only makes the case creepier. William Balfour, the estranged husband of Hudson’s sister Julia, allegedly murdered her mother, Darnell Donerson, her brother, Jason Hudson, and her son, Julian King, because he saw a gift in Julia’s home that he thought came from another man. Prosecutors detailed growing tensions between Balfour and Julia Hudson that included a workplace confrontation and threats made to Hudson’s family.

Balfour maintains he is not guilty, despite the gunpowder residue that turned up in his car.
