The Chicago Tribune is reporting that William Balfour, who so far is the only suspect in the Hudson family murder case has supposedly told his girlfriend he was involved in the murders of Hudson’s mother and brother.

Balfour’s girlfriend went and told police what he told her. The Tribune also quotes sources saying Balfour “acknowledged being at Hudson’s Englewood home” on the morning Jennifer Hudson’s mother and brother were shot to death inside, and Jennifer’s nephew was abducted and later killed.

Balfour has so far not been charged with any crime. Monday morning there will be a decision by the Illinois Prisoner Review Board as to whether he violated the terms of his parole, and if they decide he hasn’t, he could get his ‘get out of jail’ card tomorrow and walk.

Chicago police have refused to comment publicly on this stunning revelation by his girlfriend.
