NJ man fatally stabs elderly parents in chilling, blood-filled scene:…

A New Jersey man fatally stabbed his elderly parents, leaving behind a chilling scene including blood stains on the front door, prosecutors say. 

Suspected killer son Michael Mulgrew, 34, was arrested Thursday near the family’s Lincoln Avenue home in Barnegat Township, where he is accused of murdering his mom, Cheryl Mulgrew, 69, and dad, Eugene Mulgrew, 71, the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office said.

It’s unclear what exactly led law enforcement to the home, but when they arrived around 11 a.m., they noticed what appeared to be blood staining on the front door – and when they entered, they found even more blood in various areas. 

Authorities then discovered the bodies of the older Mulgrews in the bedroom with apparent stab wounds to their upper torsos, officials said. 

Officers also found a knife near the bedroom.

Their son’s escape was foiled when Barnegat Township cops spotted him at West Bay Boulevard and Gunning River Road, authorities said.

He was arrested and charged with murder, criminal possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and unlawful possession of a weapon, officials said. 

He was transported to the Ocean County Jail, where he is being held pending a detention hearing.
