Burlington County Prosecutor LaChia L. Bradshaw and Willingboro Township Acting Public Safety Director Ian Bucs announced that a 26-year-old Willingboro man has been charged with fatally stabbing his brother following an argument last weekend at a family residence.

Carl Agyemang was charged with Murder (First Degree) and weapons offenses following the death of his brother, Floyd, 23. He remains lodged in the Burlington County Jail in Mount Holly pending a detention hearing in Superior Court. The case will be prepared for presentation to a grand jury for possible indictment.

The investigation began Saturday, August 24, at approximately 11:15 a.m. when officers from the Willingboro Township Police Department were dispatched to the first block of Hepburn Lane for a report of a stabbing. Upon arrival, they discovered Floyd Agyemang with a stab wound to his chest. He was transported by ambulance to Cooper University Hospital in Camden.

Carl Agyemang fled on foot, but was arrested in the area a short time later by Willingboro Township police officers. A knife was recovered from his person that is believed to have been used in the fatal assault.

Floyd Agyemang was pronounced dead at Cooper just after 10:30 p.m. Saturday. An autopsy performed by Burlington County Medical Examiner Dr. Ian Hood ruled the death a homicide and determined the cause was stabbing.

The investigation was conducted by detectives from the Prosecutor’s Office and the Willingboro Township Police Department. The lead investigators are BCPO Det. Arek Arargil and WTPD Det. Brandon Norris.

All persons are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
