Woman, 6-Year-Old Son Murdered In Burlington County: Police [UPDATED]

MAPLE SHADE, NJ — A man discovered that his wife and their six-year-old son had been stabbed to death at their Fox Meadows Apartment in Maple Shade Thursday night, according to the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office.

Officers from the Maple Shade Police Department were called to the Hamilton Road residence just after 9 p.m. Thursday night by the husband after he found the bodies of his wife, 38-year-old Sasikala Narra and their son, Anish Narra.

They had each been stabbed multiple times, Burlington County Prosecutor Robert D. Bernardi and Maple Shade Police Chief Gary C. Gubbei said Friday morning. No arrests had been made as of late Friday morning.

Autopsies were to be performed on Friday.

Although the victims were of Indian origin, police said there is no indication that this is a hate crime, contrary to previous media reports about the incident.

The prosecutor's office didn't say where the husband was before he discovered the bodies of his wife and son, but said it is investigating.
