Among other things, Jonathan Williams, the suspected killer of Journalist Browne told the Police:

When he was arrested last Friday, Williams admitted killing the TV Journalist in a statement to the police.

“On Sunday at about 9:00pm, I was home we heard a knocked on our door. My two female nieces whet to the door and saw this man standing there. They asked him what he was looking for and he told them to just open the door. The girls refused and later came to tell me. I then went to the door with a knife and saw the young guy who I later asked why he was doing at my house. Minutes later, we got into confusion and I stabbed him,” the alleged murderer said.
