A woman has been arrested on suspicion of killing her wife and injuring her mother-in-law using a katana, a type of Japanese sword most famous for being used by samurai.
As reported by CBS News, 44-year-old Weichien Huang has been arrested after she allegedly killed her 47-year-old wife Chen Chen Fei following an argument in San Dimas, California.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said that Huang attacked her wife with the Japanese sword and swung the weapon at her mother-in-law, who managed to escape the scene and seek help.
Fei died of fatal stab wounds at the scene of the crime. The mother-in-law was taken to a nearby hospital and is in stable condition.
In disturbing video footage, which can be seen in the KTLA news report above, a woman was seen covered in cuts and dragging the sword behind her. She left a trail of blood, but it's unclear if she's the victim or the perpetrator.
The investigation into the incident is ongoing.
