A husband and wife found dead inside their Bergen County, N.J., apartment Wednesday were stabbed to death, the wife at the hands of her husband, authorities announced Friday.
Prosecutors Friday afternoon said the bodies of the husband and wife – identified as Balaji Rudrawar, 33, and Aarti B. Rudrawar, 31 – were found by police inside their apartment Wednesday evening. A child was also found inside the apartment, but had not been harmed, Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella said.
Both had suffered from multiple stab wounds, the prosecutor said. Authorities believe Aarti Rudrawar died as a result of stab wounds inflicted by her husband, the prosecutor said. Balaji Ruduawar “also died as a result of multiple stab wounds, but his manner of death is undetermined pending the completion of an autopsy and investigation,” the prosecutor said in a release.
