A motions hearing is scheduled for today for a man facing two counts of criminal homicide from an incident connected with the fatal beating of a Cherryhill Township couple in 2016.
Court documents say that 21-year-old Nathanial Price of Indiana will be in the courtroom of Judge Thomas Bianco today for the motions hearing. Price was charged along with 21-year-old Justin Stevenson of Clymer with the deaths of 26-year-old Timothy Gardner and 20-year-old Jacqueline Brink. Price and Stevenson had gone to the couple’s apartment in Cherryhill Township to buy marijuana from Gardner, but investigators say that Price and Stevenson had plans to rob him. They jumped Gardner in the apartment’s foyer, and beat him to death with a metal pipe. One of them went upstairs and then beat Brink to death as she was a witness to the crime. Price and Stevenson each said that the other killed Brink.
A third suspect, Isaiah Scott of Clymer, was initially charged as an adult, but the case was transferred to juvenile probation because he was 17 at the time of the murder.
Along with the two counts of criminal homicide, Price faces charges of robbery-inflicting serious injury and conspiracy to that charge. Jury selection is slated to start on the 18th.
Stevenson had pleaded guilty last August to two counts of second-degree murder and was sentenced to concurrent terms of life in prison without parole.
