Google worker is facing a murder charge for beating his wife to death this week in an attack that left their bedroom covered in blood, prosecutors say. Liren Chen, 27, allegedly punched his wife in the head repeatedly at their home on Valley Way in Santa Clara, police said in court records. While Chen’s wife’s name is redacted in the documents, property records show that Chen was married to Xuanyi Yu and that the couple owned a home at 714 Valley Way.. Santa Clara County’s medical examiner could not confirm whether Yu was the victim in the case as of Friday morning. Chen was a software engineer at Google who worked on the YouTube Shorts recommendation algorithm, according to a LinkedIn profile under his name. Another LinkedIn profile lists Yu as a software engineer at Google who previously worked at Amazon. Chen is currently in the hospital awaiting a court hearing and has not been arraigned as of Friday morning. He faces life in prison without the possibility of parole if convicted. Prosecutors confirmed that he was a Google employee. “We will be returning to court each day until Mr. Chen is released from the hospital and able to be personally present for his arraignment,” the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office said in a statement. Police found Chen’s wife dead after arriving at the house at 10:55 a.m. Tuesday to conduct a welfare check, court records say. The responding officer saw Chen through the window on his knees, staring blankly with his hands in the air and what appeared to be blood on his clothing. After entering the home and taking Chen into custody, court records show officers found Yu’s body on the bedroom floor with severe blunt-force injuries to her head. The floor, wall and door of the room were covered in blood spatter. “Chen’s right hand was extremely swollen and purple,” a police detective wrote. “He had blood on his clothing, his legs, arms, and hands.” When asked how he hurt his hand, Chen allegedly told first responders, “I punched my wife.” He then indicated that the attack had occurred the day prior.. ---- Chen and Yu purchased their house last April for $2.05 million, according to property records.

你来的太晚了
我以为这somehow还是和老年夫妻的混了？
因为Los altos正好也有对夫妻陈尸家中，那条新闻先出来，因为警方毫无线索向民众求助，然后大家就把谷歌这一对和那一对老夫妻搞混了。
不出国肯定就不会发生这样的悲剧，大环境里耳欲目染枪杀暴力，好人也变暴虐了
”Chen’s right hand was extremely swollen and purple,”

The neighbor(s) might have heard noises/commotions and became concerned, so they called the cops, who went to the home for a welfare check.
