Middlesex County Prosecutor Bruce J. Kaplan and Acting Chief Robert Bonfante of the Old Bridge Police Department announced that three 17-year-old males have been charged with murder and conspiracy to commit murder following the death this morning of a 49-year-old township resident.
The three males, all Old Bridge residents, previously had been charged with conspiring to commit an aggravated assault and aggravated assault upon Divyendu Sinha. The homicide charges were filed after Mr. Sinha was pronounced dead at 4 a.m. Monday at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick.
Mr. Sinha was taken to the hospital after he was beaten shortly before 11:42 p.m. on June 25, 2010, as he was walking with his family on Fela Drive in Old Bridge. No weapons were used in the assault.
An autopsy is scheduled to be performed Tuesday by the Middlesex County Medical Examiner's Office.
While an investigation into the death remains active, preliminary findings indicate the assault was not racially motivated and that Mr. Sinha was the victim of a random attack. A final determination will not be reached until the investigation is completed.
The three juveniles were remanded to the Middlesex County Juvenile Detention Center in North Brunswick following a preliminary Family Court hearing in New Brunswick this morning before Superior Court Judge Roger W. Daley.
The three juveniles are scheduled to return to Family Court on July 1, 2010, for a preliminary hearing on the murder and murder conspiracy charges.
Their names are being withheld because of their ages. They were arrested and charged on June 26, 2010.
After the investigation is completed, Prosecutor Kaplan will review all reports in the case and will decide whether to seek to try the three in Superior Court as adults.
Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Greg Morris of the Old Bridge Police Department at (732) 721-5600, or Investigator Paul Miller of the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office at (732) 745-4466.

I found this on newjerseynewsroom.com
This is supposedly the myspace page of Christian Tinli, showing the photo of the alleged (by readers on the web, that is) three assailants, Christian Tinli, Cash Johnson and Julian Daley, in that order from left to right (plus some girl in the middle):

About me:
Yo my name is Christian and i live in NJ. I grew up in New Brunswick and was raised there. I moved to Old Bridge when i was like 10. I go to Old Bridge High School. I like to chill with mi my three niggaz Cash, Blair,and Shoni. We be up to no good sometimes but neva get cought, but they got my back if anything happens. We all some true "G"'s.
Apart from the criminial proceedings against the worms (who should arguably be tried as adults) leading to the maximum penalty that the law allows, could there be room for a civil action against the OB school district on behalf of the Sinha family, if the deplorable situation at OBHS (which would have definitely contributed to something like this happening) as described in the many of the posts elsewhere can be proven in court ?
Their names are Cash Johnson, Christian Tinli and Julian Daley.
You can check them out on Facebook or myspace.com
Their Facebook wall posts that bragged about the attack were posted the morning after, only 10 hours after the attack. They've since been removed.
The names of the other 2 (possibly 3) have not been released, for a total of 5 involved. At least 2 of these 5 pieces of crap remained in the car and were sitting in the car watching, instead of calling 911 for help. They are also pieces of crap and just as guilty.
To bad NJ did away with the death penalty. I'd like to see them fried or gassed (after first serving a few years in prison as someone's 'bitch') with their photos plastered all over the news media. They get to decide if they get fried or gassed. That's all what really needs to happen (but it won't) so these 'up and coming' new breed of criminals may think twice before joy-riding, looking for trouble and starting trouble for a few hours (before the attack) terrorizing other people and damaging their cars (before the attack) and then continuing with their acts of violence, beating an innocent man to death in front of his family. Then boasting about it on Facebook. No remorse. Disgusting.
There will, in the future, be more of these stories b/c there is no death penalty.
The laws are made to protect the criminal ... UNLESS, of course, the attack is against a Politician, Judge or Law Enforcement/Police Officer, or their immediate families, otherwise the legal system is a huge failure.
I hope these kids get the needle, and if it were up to me, the ignorant fools who defend acts like this deserve nothing less than that as well!
EYE for and EYE, these waste of life 16-17 year old jerk offs should get the sh*t beated out of them and hung by their balls! I hate that they did this and I can only imagine what their parents and the family of Mr. Sinha is thinking and doing right now.
Ultimately, these jerk offs will have to answer to GOD and what will he say? I'm sure the jerk off's parents are proud! WASTE OF LIFE! How much of a bad ass are you now in JAIL! I hope you get nailed is the A** everynight. HAHA HOW about THAT BIG GUY!
ROT IN ETERNAL HELL!
ALL my PRAYERS and THOUGHTS with the SINHA family, may you have the love, support, strength and courage to face this and make you a closer family.
may Mr. Sinha Rest In Peace.
I urge the local residents to unite and put pressure on the athorities.
My condolences to the family of Mr. Sinha.
Our deepest condolence for Sinha family..May god give them Strength.
this is enough. the indian commiunity should unite and fight against such racial murders.
Indians are "model" minorities as they are the highest educated and highest income ethnic subgroup as per U.S. census bureau. we will not take this from "cancers" of society that leech of our earnings and inhibit our survival and progress
because now the WHOLE COUNTY KNOW OF RACIAL HATE IN OLD BRIDGE.
As for the ones who dared to take this family man's life away, in front of his family, no less.......I also pray that they receive just punishment for their crime. At age 17, they drive, work, play sports, have lots of friends and have taken all of it for granted. And from what their facebooks have said, they are guilty of getting high often and bragging about it. How can this be fair? Anyone of authority who turns the other way or downplays or LIES about these hateful youths are just as guilty. They DROVE around HIGH looking for fun and decided to murder an innocent man in front of his family, etc etc. I see no reason to lessen this crime with insulting made up justifications of what they have done. God please enlighten the authorities and lawyers and prosecutors so that they will do the right and moral thing in the name of Mr. Sinha and his precious family. And shame on their families for not being aware that they all 3 got high OFTEN, this is a known fact among kids in Old Bridge, shame shame. Nowadays we should all be waiting up for our kids, I do still and my kids are in college. I love them so dearly that I go to this measure to make sure thay are ok and not involved in any wrong-doing. I worry for their safety as I wait up for their return. Enough, I'm so sad ..God be with them all!
the news coverage is very limited though, not even a single picture of the crime!! a respectable man an honest man has been murdered and the murderers are already being protected?
sad!!
That this could happen ANYWHERE is a tragedy. That a man who was loved by his family and friends and was a valued member of a community could be brought down by such trash is a travesty. 17 is one year old from adulthood. If I didn't know at 17 that murder was evil, I certainly wouldn't have a better sense of it by maturing another year.
I hope that law enforcement makes an example of this. Hate crime is not acceptable in any community. Murder should not go unpunished because of a technicality. These individuals were not 12 - they were 17.
And what message do you send when you say - hey - it's ok - they are juveniles? Does it become that much easier for a 16 year old or a 15 year old to commit something like this without consequence?
I feel like I am watching the climate in this country become a bit number and more hostile to the immigrant population. There is a deeper resentment that is making it acceptable, even comical, that something like this article can be written by Joel Stein and published in Time - about the heavy Indian populution in one of Old Bridge's neighboring town's Edison.
People are watching - please make an example of this.
To Mr. Sinha's family - I am so sorry. Years ago, my uncle was shot in a hate crime/petty theft while my aunt looked on. I will never get him back - he was one of the best people I will ever have the fortune to know. They never caught the assailants. My uncle never met his grandchildren - but he lives on in them.
I hope that Mr. Sinha lives on for you as well - in everything you love - in everything you do - and in each of you.
God bless you.

Dr. Sinha had a glorious career in the field of Computer Science. He was working as a Senior Software Project Manager at Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics. He had also served as CTO & VP at KoamTac and had worked within various positions at Eastman Kodak. Dr. Sinha had earned his Ph.D. from Stevens Institute of Technology and had been a professor at the College of Staten Island. He had earned his graduate degree from IIT Khadagpur. Dr. Sinha was an author of several books on computer imaging and Computational mathematical morphology. Dr. Sinha had lived in this neighborhood, for over 16 years where the attack was committed. He was fatally assaulted, unprovoked right outside his house on the night of Friday, 25-Jun-10 by some High School kids who were obviously drunk and high and were looking for a victim just for kicks. Dr. Sinha was returning home after a walk with his wife and two sons, shortly after dinner. Dr. Sinha%u2019s two sons also received injuries. After struggling for life, Sinha was declared to have passed away on 28-Jun-10, Monday morning (Eastern Time) at 4:00 AM
While the attack may or may not have been racial, the essential question is how, Indians living abroad seek safety and justice without the intervention of the Government of India. The three assailants: 17 year old murderers had absolutely no remorse even after this violent crime. The attack was committed on Friday night. On Saturday morning, the criminals were busy posting random stuff at facebook and myspace. They were obviously overjoyed at their feat. Old Bridge High School students: Cash Johnson, Christian Tinli and Julian Daley were the names behind this violent crime. Julian Daley's facebook profile has since been deleted. It was last seen until Wednesday morning and all three murderers had been busy posting on each other's walls until Saturday morning after the attack. Cash Johnson, Christian Tinli and Julian Daley%u2019s public profiles show their menace and a complete lack of remorse.
It is understandable that the US laws prohibit juvenile criminals' names to be declared within the United States but what about the trial? It is being speculated that the accused might not really get a punishment fit in the United States for murder. They might be sent either to their parents or a juvenile detention center. Is that a fit trial for an unprovoked murder of an elderly scholar? Should the Indian Government intervene and request USA to try these murderers as adults? If that is not done, these animals would end up getting an unjust and lenient punishment in the name of being %u2018technically%u2019 minors.
It is important for people to understand that Indians who live far from their homeland have very little but their own communities to care for. At a time like this, the Indian Government must intervene and offer support and justice for the dearly departed. Dr. Sinha had done some extremely generous activities within India and US for the Indian community. Generations of his relatives have sought inspiration from him in career and life. He has helped numerous youngsters in India gain the right path in studies and career. Many of them have landed in the country's finest institutions like the IIT's and others. Thanks to his inspiration and love, his passing is being deeply mourned among family, relatives, friends and acquaintances in India.
Dr. Sinha was a loving son and a doting father and husband. His family, hailing from Bihar are devastated. His old parents and are finding it hard to come to terms with the tragedy. Sad part is, they will not be able to travel to the US to see their son for the one last time. Dr. Sinha's wife and two teenage sons are trying to keep strong. His only brother has flown to the US already and is attempting to offer support in the face of this great personal tragedy. Dr. Sinha's last rites will be performed in New Jersey and parallel religious ceremonies will be performed in India by his grieving parents. May God give the family strength and hope. Hopefully they will be able to find peace and forgiveness in their hearts for this seemingly unforgiveable event. Our prayers and wishes for the departed and his family.
My heart wrenches when I realize that a person of his stature has become victim to such fate.Such heinous act happening in civilized society is a shame for the entire humanity.I pray for him, me and my family will always miss him.
Jury needs to find deterrent for such acts for their cities and towns to prosper.Ignoring such acts will only make your city like another Detroit with vacant town homes, streets with abandoned houses.Non competitive schools that can only produce workers whose job will be outsourced eventually.
This is not only loss to the Sinha family, to the company and to the country, he was working for.
Regards,
Jules Sainte
Oh no one heard any slurs during the attack by 3 riled up teenagers at this time of night? Yeah okay... in redneck New Jersey... Try again. It's probably one of the cops relatives or someone related to the DA. They should start investigating the families of these low life trash kids!
May GOD be with his family.
my heart goes out to Dr.Sinha's family for this horrible loss.
Precedence needs to be set so that every self crowned racial cleansing punk may learn that being a mere few months short of 18 will not let him get away with grievous crimes against humanity.
I sincerely offer my condolences to the familly of Dr.Sinha may God give you all strength in this time of need.
