Prisoner
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.
The Mustang was returned to the complex and found by officers at 12:45 p.m.
The owner later told officers he was pistol-whipped and held against his will by the suspects, but was allowed to leave after police deployed a drone over the complex to announce they were looking for the suspects, according to The Orange County Register.
A SWAT team responded about 6:55 p.m. and after hours of negotiation without a resolution, the SWAT team fired less-than-lethal rounds to break windows of the residence, the newspaper reported. The device is loud, so that may have motivated them to give up at that point, Irvine police Sgt. Karie Davies told the Register.
