Man arrested in Burlington Co. gas station murder

By Maya Rao

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

A Burlington County man was arrested and charged this morning with the murder of a gas station attendant in Westampton last month.

Authorities allege that Terrance S. Clemons, 20, of Burlington Township, shot Abdur Rahman during a late-night holdup at the U.S. Gas Station near the intersection of Rt. 541 and Burr Road. Rahman, 50, had been sending money home to his wife and eight children in Bangladesh.

The Burlington County Prosecutor's Office said Clemons murdered the attendant at approximately 11:22 on April 14, then fled and disposed of the gun.

Judge James Morley set bail on the murder warrant for $750,000. Clemons' first court appearance is scheduled for tomorrow at 3 p.m.
