Was there a motive?
They were his tenants and were being forced to leave.
Mallove's widow, Joanne Mallove, said Friday that she believed Schaffer and Foster had rented the Salem Turnpike home and had been told by Eugene Mallove that they had to move out. She said her husband had been "a bit concerned" about the home's occupants. He was cleaning out the home on the day he was killed and had refused his wife's offer of help.
Police said Schaffer was a "person of interest" early on, but they had only recently obtained sufficient evidence to charge him. On Thursday, police charged Foster before obtaining a warrant for Schaffer's arrest.
