WOODBURY, N.J. (AP) — A New Jersey man facing murder charges in two states made a brief court appearance Thursday and remained jailed awaiting a possible indictment.
Sean Lannon appeared by videoconference before a judge in Gloucester County, New Jersey, where he was charged last month with murder in the beating death of Michael Dabkowski. An affidavit alleged Lannon broke into the 66-year-old Dabkowski’s home and beat him to death with a hammer.
Lannon told investigators that Dabkowski had sexually abused him as a child and that he had gone to the home to retrieve sexually explicit photos. Prosecutors were investigating that claim.
