The man criminally charged early this week with desecrating the remains of a woman who was found dead in a vehicle in Atlantic Highlands has now also been charged with her murder, Acting Monmouth County Prosecutor Lori Linskey announced on Friday.
Jordan J. Vilcatoma-Correjo, 28, of Edison, is now charged with first-degree murder and second-degree desecration of human remains in connection with the death of his former girlfriend Sonia Gonzalez, also of Edison.
