IRVINE (CNS) - A 42-year-old Irvine man was behind bars today on suspicion of killing his wife, who he was convicted of beating last year, police said.
Yunlong Bai called his probation officer at about 1 p.m. Tuesday to report that he killed his 33-year-old wife, Chao Chen, according to Sgt. Karie Davies of the Irvine Police Department. The suspect waited for police at his residence on Red Apple Court in Irvine, Davies said.
The victim ``had signs of trauma,'' Davies said, declining to be more specific. An autopsy is tentatively scheduled for next week, she said.
