The man who authorities say fatally stabbed his two younger sisters last week in their Streamwood home now faces two counts of first-degree murder and is scheduled to appear in court today for a detention hearing.
Police arrested 25-year-old Jalonie Jenkins of Streamwood in Downers Grove on Sunday, following a four-day manhunt launched after his sisters were found stabbed to death May 28.
He is charged with killing 21-year-old Janiya Jenkins, a nursing student, and 10-year-old Eyani Jones, who attended Parkwood Elementary School in Hannover Park.
Officers discovered their bodies about 7:50 p.m. May 28, in their home in the 1600 block of McKool Avenue, after a younger brother knocked on a neighbor’s door and the neighbor alerted police.
Police recovered Jenkins’ vehicle in Bensenville later that night, but did not find him until late Sunday, when the Major Case Assistance Team, U.S. Marshals and Streamwood police arrested him near a Downers Grove Metra station.
