Report: Former Cinnaminson Resident Charged in Mount Holly Murder Slashed Himself 50 Times

The former Cinnaminson resident accused of killing his girlfriend and her father allegedly attempted to kill himself by slashing himself 50 times, the Burlington County Times reports.

Dennis Pozniak, 27, also allegedly mixed pills with alcohol in an attempt to kill himself before he was arrested and charged in the murders of 24-year-old girlfriend Nicole Wilson and her father, Bryan Wilson, 52, according to the report.

Burlington County First Assistant Prosecutor Ray Milavsky said Pozniak killed Wilson and her father, who he had been living with for several months, in the most violent way possible, according to the report.

Pozniak was charged with two counts of murder in their deaths after their bodies were discovered in their home Saturday morning.

He is a graduate of Cinnaminson High School with a prior charge of heroin possession and an outstanding charge of barbiturates possession, both in Camden County.

Nicole and Bryan Wilson moved from Cinnaminson to Mount Holly about 10 years ago, and Nicole was a decorated specialist with the Air National Guard and was stationed at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.

Pozniak had been living with the Wilson Family in their Washington Street home in Mount Holly for several months.

Police were called to the residence at about 9 a.m. Saturday by a family member who awoke and discovered the bodies.

Pozniak was inside the residence at the time. He was taken to a hospital and treated for his self-inflicted wounds.

He is being treated at a medical facility, and is still awaiting a psychiatric evaluation.

His bail was initially set at $1 million. The judge upheld that bail with no 10 percent option, according to the report.
