Detectives say Howard and Slusher went to Hinton’s home in Livingston with plans to rob her and get money that would be used for meth. Instead, police say, they attacked her with a flat screen television and a gun.
Immediately after that, police say that the two put a pillow over her face to make sure she was dead. They say blood and hair on the television confirm that it was used as a murder weapon.
Sources say that Slusher and Howard are each blaming each other for the murder.
Detectives say after the murder, Howard could be seen at at least six different ATMs using the victim’s card to withdraw money.
The case has been sent to a grand jury.
