Google Engineer Found Covered in Blood at Scene of Alleged Wife’s Murder in California
A Google software engineer was found “spattered in blood” after allegedly murdering his wife in a brutal attack at their California home, according to police.
According to a press release from the Santa Clara District Attorney’s Office, officers were called to 27-year-old Liren Chen’s home in Santa Clara, California, just miles south of Google’s Silicon Valley headquarters.
Google acknowledged to Fox News Digital that Chen and his wife, Xuanyi Yu, were working for the computer giant at the time of the event. Officials added that on Jan. 16, an acquaintance of Chen contacted 911 and “expressed concern” about the couple.
The acquaintance told authorities that he could see Chen from a window staring “motionless on his knees” with “his hands in the air.”
According to authorities, Chen “refused” to answer his phone or door when police arrived. After officers gained access to the couple’s home, Chen was at the scene of the alleged murder with an “extremely swollen and purple” right hand, not far from his wife’s body.
Authorities said that Yu suffered from “severe blunt force injuries to her head.”
Police stated the 27-year-old had blood “on his clothing, legs, arms, and hands, as well as scratches on his arm” as a result of the brutal attack.
Chen Faces Murder Charge
Chen has been charged with murder and could face prison if convicted, according to authorities.
The 27-year-old’s arraignment was postponed until January 22 due to Chen’s continued hospitalization, according to court records.
“Domestic violence deaths have been decreasing in our county, but this does not reflect the scope and destructiveness of the violence,” District Attorney Jeff Rosen stated in a press statement.
“Anyone who feels that they or someone else is being abused by their partners, please reach out your local law enforcement agency. You are not alone. We can help.”
