San Dimas Woman Gets 37 Years to Life for Killing Wife With Katana, Attacking Mother-in-Law

The surviving mother addressed the court from Taiwan, describing a frenzied sword assault that spilled into the street on video.

Overview

  • A Los Angeles County judge imposed the sentence Monday in Pomona following an Oct. 28 jury conviction for murder and attempted murder.
  • Prosecutors said an argument over divorce on July 18, 2024 ended with Weichien Huang fatally stabbing her wife, Chen Chen Fei, 13 times with a katana.
  • When Fei’s mother entered the room, Huang swung the sword at her before the woman grabbed the blade, fled while bleeding, and survived.
  • Video obtained by TMZ shows the injured mother limping down the street with the bloody sword as she tried to flag down help.
  • Huang told authorities she did not remember the attack, and deputies found her next to a medication bottle after what prosecutors described as a suicide attempt.
