WILLINGBORO — A 32-year-old woman has been accused of brutally killing her mother in the 57-year-old victim’s home.

Breanna Beacham was temporarily staying at Kim Beacham-Hanson’s Hopewell Lane residence in the Hawthorne Park neighborhood, Burlington County Prosecutor LaChia Bradshaw said.

Police were called to the home on Monday just before 4 p.m., for a report of an assault.
When officers arrived, they found Beacham-Hanson unresponsive.

Detectives said she had been beaten to death.

An autopsy confirmed a homicide caused by multiple blunt injuries.

The motive for the attack remained under investigation.

Beacham-Hanson had worked as a singer for decades, going professionally by KB Hanson or Kim Beacham, according to her social media accounts.

She had posted reels to her Facebook page, leading up to a benefit she took part in, just days before her death.

The neighborhood has seen several violent killings this year alone.

In November, a 33-year-old woman and her 54-year-old mother were found shot to death in the Hawthorne Park home they shared. The younger woman's ex, Junior Edwards, of Lansdowne, Pennsylvania, was charged with their murders.
