Honduran charged in machete slayings of two farmhands

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Police have charged a Honduran farmhand with hacking to death two co-workers with a machete at a Burlington County horse farm.

Carlos Reyes, 41, is charged with two counts of murder in the death of Alex Aguilar and Marcial Morales-Maldonado.

Reyes brother, Cesar Reyes, was charged as a material witness. Police said he walked in during the slayings but did not participate.

Until today, police had indicated only that the victims had been beaten and did not disclose they had been hacked with a machete.

Police said an unspecified argument triggered the bloody rampage.

The Reyes brothers are still in Texas, where they have been held since March 3.

The brothers are from Honduras and are not in the country legally, according to New Jersey State Police. The brothers had lived and worked on a horse farm in Springfield Township with the victims.

After the bodies were found, authorities launched a nationwide search for the brothers, describing them as "people of interest."
