Delco man arrested, charged in double murder of Burlington County mother, daughter

A Delaware County man has been charged in the double murder of a Willingboro mother and her daughter, officials announced.

Lansdowne resident, Junior Edwards, 37, was charged with two counts of first degree murder, endangering the welfare of a child, among other related charges, Burlington County officials announced.

Edwards was arrested Friday in Philadelphia, on charges unrelated to the double homicide of 54-year-old Marisol Nunez and her 33-year-old daughter, Catherine Nunez, in their Willingboro home.

The women were found shot early Wednesday morning inside their Harrington Circle home, according to officials. Investigators found a first-floor window smashed, where Edwards was said to have gained entry around 4 a.m. A gun believed to have been used in the shooting was found outside the home, officials said.
