LA woman Weichien Huang fatally stabbed wife with samurai sword, police say
- Victim Chen Chen Fei was attacked after an argument in the couple’s home, and her mother was also severely injured, authorities say
A Los Angeles-area woman has been taken into custody after police say she fatally stabbed her wife with a samurai sword, which she also allegedly used to attack her mother-in-law.
Weichien Huang, 44, has been booked for the July 18 murder of 47-year-old Chen Chen Fei, both of San Dimas, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said Wednesday in a news release.
An investigation found that Huang and Fei were arguing inside their home last Thursday when the altercation turned deadly.
“At some point, Huang attacked Fei with a sword. Fei’s mother was also attacked and severely injured,” authorities said.
The mother-in-law – who they did not name – was ultimately “able to gain control of the sword and fled the residence looking for help”. She is in stable condition at a nearby hospital.
