JERSEY CITY AND BEYOND — Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio said on Monday that a 68-year-old Jersey City man was found stabbed to death mutiple times in his home Saturday morning.
DeFazio said Robert Murphy was found dead in his Bergen Avenue apartment around 3 a.m. after his son entered the apartment and found his father’s bloodied body. DeFazio said the stabbing may have taken place hours before Murphy’s body was discovered.
DeFazio said there was no forced entry into the apartment and Murphy may have known his attackers, as it is believed that more than one person was involved.
DeFazio said Murphy was a private security officer who was in “vibrant health” at the time of his death. — RK
