Two sisters have been found dead at a restaurant in Hillside, and police
say the killings are related to the death of a man police found earlier this
week.
Police discovered the body of Akanni Martin, 45,
Monday morning in a car parked behind a rental car business in the 1700
block of Morris Avenue in Union Township. Police say Martin had been shot in the head. A weapon was found
nearby.
Police later found the bodies of the mother of
Martin's children and her sister at the restaurant he co-owned, K
& K Jamaican Restaurant, in the 1500 block of Summit Avenue.
An autopsy Wednesday revealed both women were the victims of homicide,
according to the prosecutor.
A cause of death was not released.
Police say there is no further threat to the
community.
Anyone with information is urged to call prosecutor's office
Lt. Johnny Ho at 908-403-8271 or Detective Lamar
Hartsfield at 908-451-1873.
