A woman in Southern California has been arrested after allegedly
stabbing her wife to death with a samurai sword.

The attack occurred on Thursday, July 18, at the 300 block of S.
Huntington Ave, San Dimas, said the Los Angeles County Sheriff's
Department in a news release.

When officers arrived, a woman holding a sword was seen walking alone in
the street before dropping the alleged weapon after being approached by
an officer, video obtained by KTLA shows.

Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Lt. Daniel Vizcarra said during
a press conference that the female, who was "suffering numerous cuts and
lacerations on her body," then directed them "to a residence on the
street where the deputies find an additional female suffering also from
lacerations, was later pronounced dead at the scene."

"And as they continued through the residence, an additional female was
found in the residence unharmed, who was also transferred to a local
hospital due to a medical emergency," he added.

The victim was identified as Chen Chen Fei, 47, with the alleged
attacker being her wife, Weichien Huang, 44, the Los Angeles County
Sheriff's Department announced in an update on Wednesday, July 24.

Huang was arrested and booked for murder.

"Through investigation, investigators learned Huang and her wife, Fei,
had an argument inside their residence. At some point, Huang attacked
Fei with a sword," the update states. "Fei’s mother was also attacked
and severely injured; however, was able to gain control of the sword and
fled the residence looking for help."

According to the department, Fei’s mother remains in stable condition at
a local hospital for her injuries sustained during the attack.

While the incident remains under investigation, San Dimas resident Trinh
Garcia told KABC-TV that the women all lived in the same home and
typically remained to themselves.

"They were quiet people, they only came out to get the mail, open the
garage, take the trash out, other than that, they were quiet people,"
she said, expressing, "We are shocked, we are stunned."

They were mentally ill and this is what happens when the mentally ill
are left untreated.
