Matthew Hertgen, a 31-year-old suspect in the murder of his brother Joseph, demonstrated disheveled appearance during court proceedings. Accused of using a knife and golf club, he reportedly engaged in heinous acts, including eating his brother's eye and setting the family cat on fire. The event occurred in their Princeton apartment, raising concerns about Matthew's mental health leading up to the incident. Authorities are investigating the motive while his family's presence was notably absent in court. Matthew faces further hearings, with troubling behaviors noted during his time in custody.
Sources said he also set the family cat on fire during his rampage, which happened just blocks from the Ivy League university's campus.
The Hertgen brothers were standout athletes who grew up in a $1.1 million home in Toms River before the family uprooted to the upscale Michelle Mews apartments.
