ASSOCIATED PRESS

New Jersey authorities said they plan to announce charges against two brothers in the slaying of two co-workers at a Burlington County horse farm.

The State Police, the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office, federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials and the U.S. Marshals Service are scheduled to make a joint announcement tomorrow morning in Mount Holly.

Brothers Carlos and Cesar Reyes were taken into custody last week in Houston, Texas.

They're suspects in the killings of 27-year-old Alex Aguilar and 48-year-old Marcial Morales-Maldonado. They were found bludgeoned to death on Feb. 28 at the Sterling Chase Horse Farm in Springfield.

The men were all from Honduras and shared living quarters at the farm, 15 miles south of Trenton, where they worked as laborers. ICE officials say the Reyes brothers were in the country illegally.
