• Defendant in robbery, stabbing death of 71-year-old pleads to murder (delcotimes.com) — A Brookhaven man and a Chester co-defendant admitted conspiring in a 2024 home-invasion robbery that left a 71-year-old Chester resident fatally stabbed, with one now pleading guilty to third-degree murder and related charges. Prosecutors say text messages showed the pair planning the crime, and both face lengthy potential prison sentences as hearings and sentencing dates approach. 
• Merry Christmas Fund with another 4-digit day (delcotimes.com) — Brookhaven residents can support the regional Merry Christmas Fund by mailing donations directly to the Salvation Army’s Brookhaven P.O. Box, helping provide food baskets and toys to local families.
