Guttenberg, NJ – The Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide Unit has filed another murder charge against Lamont Cole of East Orange following the deaths of two men in Guttenberg.

Previously, Cole faced a murder charge related to the death of Justo Bory, 87, from Guttenberg. The Regional Medical Examiner’s Office’s post-mortem report for Ricardo Bory, 58, determined his death resulted from homicidal violence. Consequently, Cole now faces two counts of murder under N.J.S.A. 2C:11-3a(1)/(2).

On November 23, shortly after 10 p.m., Guttenberg Police were alerted to two unresponsive males at 209 71st Street. Identified as Justo and Ricardo Bory, both men were pronounced dead at the scene. During the initial investigation, Cole was arrested for interference and has since been held at the Hudson County Correctional Facility.

Cole’s murder charge regarding Justo Bory was filed on December 3, after the medical examiner determined the cause of death as neck compression, classifying it as homicide.
