A man from south Jersey has been charged with murder after both of his parents were found stabbed to death inside the family’s home in Cumberland County, prosecutors said.
New Jersey State Police troopers conducting a wellness check at the residence in Hopewell Township, around 7:30 a.m. Tuesday morning, found homeowners Brenda L. Williams and Billy C. Williams Jr. dead from apparent stab wounds, the County Prosecutor’s Office stated in a press release.
The couple, both in their 60s, lived in the home with one of their three sons, Craig Williams, 34, who was later arrested and charged with two counts each of first-degree murder, second-degree desecration of human remains, and two counts of third- and fourth-degree weapons possession charges. 
Craig Williams is additionally charged with obstruction, hindering apprehension, and tampering with evidence.
Williams and his parents appeared to have lived together at the same home. 
Troopers went to the home after a relative of the parents requested a well-being check at the home after neither responded to multiple calls over the weekend and Billy Williams did not show up to work on Monday morning.
When troopers arrived at their home, Craig Williams answered the door but said that his parents were not home and refused to let them inside, according to the affidavit of probable cause,.

Several knives and an axe were seized by police as evidence, the affidavit says.
Troopers had responded to 20 separate incidents at the home in just the last two years, including domestic violence, harassment, assaults and verbal arguments, investigators learned.
“All incidents involved Craig Williams, who was arrested numerous times for assaulting both decedents,” State Police Investigator J.P. McKay wrote in the affidavit.
