South Jersey Man Attempted To Hire Inmate To Kill Lead Investigator In His Murder Case: Report

Former Lindenwold resident Kenneth Saal, 33, also wanted to kill another random woman to cast doubt on charges that he murdered a co-worker, the outlet said, citing court documents. 

Saal was charged with first-degree murder in the death of 26-year-old Carolyn Byington of Plainsboro.

Investigators reportedly learned Saal offered the fellow inmate $15,000, the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office said previously.

Saal is now charged with first-degree conspiracy to commit murder, conspiracy to hinder his own prosecution, and conspiracy to tamper with a witness, the report says.
