good thoughts to jennifer hundson's family...

Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Hudson has been devastated by the shooting murders of her mother and brother and the kidnap of her young nephew.

The bodies of Darnell Donnerson, 57, and her son, Jason Hudson, 29, were found at the Donnerson family home in Chicago yesterday.

William Balfour, 27, - the boyfriend of Hudson's sister Julia - was arrested after a manhunt lasting hours. But he was refusing to co-operate with police, or reveal the whereabouts of seven-year-old Julian King, the son of Julia Hudson, who vanished at the time of the killings.
