A 25-year-old Pleasantville man has been charged with murder and evidence tampering in connection with the death of his girlfriend, according to the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office.

An investigation revealed that Betancourt suffered from multiple blunt-force injuries before her death. Her boyfriend, Boris Lainez-Rosales, with whom she shared a home, has been charged with her murder.

Lainez-Rosales is currently being held at the Atlantic County jail, awaiting a hearing.
