A New Jersey woman is accused of savagely bludgeoning her mother to death inside her own home on Monday, cops said.
Police in Willingboro Township found Kim Beacham-Hanson, 57, dead from multiple blunt injuries allegedly delivered by her daughter, 32-year-old Breanna Beacham, Burlington County prosecutors claim.
“Burlington County Medical Examiner Dr. Ian Hood concluded her death was a homicide that was caused by multiple blunt injuries,” the county prosecutor’s office said in a statement.
Cops arrested Beacham inside her mother’s house, where she had been temporarily staying.
Police are still investigating the motive behind the allege matricide.
In addition to first-degree murder, Beacham was charged with unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes, although police have not said what that weapon is.
The case will now be prepared for presentation to a grand jury for possible indictment.
