A look back at the infamous Josh Pompey murder case
It was on March 9, 1998, that former boxer Josh Pompey was convicted in a Bergen County courtroom of murdering his ex-girlfriend and her elderly aunt by stabbing them to death.
Authorities said that Pompey, a one-time sparring partner of heavyweight champion Larry Holmes, went to the Hackensack home of Audrey Robinson, a woman he had dated years earlier. Pompey wanted to resume the relationship, but Robinson turned him down. Prosecutors said Pompey then raped Robinson and began hitting her. Her 74 year old aunt, Madeline Mitchell tried to intervene and Pompey fought her off, then stabbing her to death. He also stabbed Robinson to death after raping her.
