A Valley Stream man accused of a triple murder in New Jersey has been extradited from California to face charges in the Garden State.
Kang-Hyuk Choi, 32, is accused of killing his friend, his friend?s mother and his friend?s uncle. Prosecutors say a fight over money led to the stabbing deaths. According to police, the three were killed about two weeks ago and their bodies were found in their home Friday in Tenafly, N.J.
Choi is accused of stealing $30,000 from one of the victim?s before fleeing in their car. He was arrested Sunday in California. Investigators say they tracked Choi down using clues from his slain friend?s diary.
Choi is expected to be charged in the triple homicide Wednesday in Hackensack, N.J.
