Murder Charges For Son After Parents Found Stabbed In Englewood

ENGLEWOOD, NJ — The son of a city husband and wife was charged with murder after they were found stabbed to death in their Lafayette Place home Saturday morning, acting Bergen County Prosecutor Dennis Calo announced.

Pawel M. Boduch, 43, of Englewood was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, Calo said in a news release.

Boduch was arrested Saturday soon after authorities released the identities of the husband and wife who were found dead in their Englewood home Saturday morning. Edward Boduch, 71, and Miroslawa Potocka, 72, were each stabbed multiple times when Englewood police found their bodies, Calo said.

Bergen County Jail records show Boduch is a United States citizen who was born in Poland.

Police checked on the couple after a family member could not reach them for days and contacted authorities, authorities previously said.

Boduch was arrested while he was walking back to his car that was parked at ShopRite on Nathaniel Place, Mayor Michael Wildes previously said. He was believed to be armed with a knife, Wildes said. Wildes said the ShopRite was locked down for about an hour earlier in the day when the car was discovered.

Wildes said Saturday the situation was, "a tragedy of biblical proportions."

Boduch is scheduled to appear in Central Judicial Processing Court Sunday afternoon.
