[NYPOST] A New Jersey man has been arrested in connection to the grisly ax murder of his sister-in-law and niece, who were found dead underneath a mattress last month inside their Roselle home.Everoy L. Morrison, 44, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, motor vehicle theft and several weapons counts in connection to the late April killings, the Union County Prosecutor’s Office said Monday.
The bloodied bodies of Kiesha Morrison, 45, and her 9-year-old daughter, Kelsey, were discovered underneath a mattress in the daughter’s bedroom by police who were called to a home on West 7th Avenue on April 18 after the two were reported missing.
Initial reports said the mother and daughter, who was days short of turning 10, were bludgeoned to death, but later reports claimed an ax had been used.
After the victims’ bodies were discovered, police determined that Keisha Morrison’s brand-new BMW had been stolen.
Investigators from the prosecutor’s office’s Homicide Task Force and the Roselle Police Department were able to track the vehicle to Maryland.
There, the driver, Everoy Morrison, was pulled over and arrested for being in possession of the stolen car.
