Flowers have been laid on the grass in Chicago where Jennifer Hudson's mother, brother and nephew were laid to rest.

Flowers, cards, soft toys and photos were left inside the Oak Woods Cemetery and outside the late Hudson's family home where the murders took place.

The Oscar winning actress is reportedly refusing to go back to the house where her mother Darnell Donerson and sibling Jason Hudson where slain.

Jennifer's brother in law William Balfour is being questioned by the police.
