This is still a disturbing story, no matter how much time pass this is still horrific. Jennifer Hudson Oscar winner, and super star singer is on the witness list for the upcoming trial of a man accused of killing her mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew.

The Chicago Tribune reports, but the prosecutors haven’t yet disclosed whether Hudson will actually testify at William Balfour’s trial, which is slated to begin April 9.

Balfour was the estranged husband of Hudson’s sister, Julia. Hudson’s mother and brother were found dead in the family’s home on Chicago’s South Side in 2008. Her nephew’s body was found days later in a vehicle on the city’s West Side.
