WHITPAIN TOWNSHIP, PA — Weeks later, there are more questions than answers after a man was found stabbed to death inside a burning home in Whitpain Township.

At first, it was just a fire: a massive blaze on 25 Township Line Road which lit up the Blue Bell section of the township at 2:10 in the morning on May 4.

Soon it was discovered that a body was inside the home, and the community assumed that one of the residents of the home had perished in a fire.
