Police had been at the Maplewood apartment of a 70-year-old mother to check on her hours before they found her dead Monday afternoon and a second man may have been involved in her killing, court records obtained by NJ Advance Media show.
Benjamin Avrut, 35, was charged with murder in the death of his mother, Gwen Arvut, the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office said Tuesday morning. Court records indicate that her son was possibly looking for money for drugs at the time.
