Two Camden County women have been charged with the hammer killing of a man whose body was found in a wooded area of Atlantic County.
Prosecutors say Ashley McLaughlin of Sicklerville and Cynthia Myers of Camden drove 23-year-old John Quann of West Atco to the Hamilton Township site Saturday with the intent to rob him. Once there, they allegedly beat him with a hammer.
Besides murder, the women are charged with weapons offenses are were being held on $1 million bail each. The body was found Wednesday morning by a hunter, who called police.
It could not immediately be determined whether the women had hired attorneys.
