 A woman who, according to prosecutors, was savagely beaten to death by her husband inside their Santa Clara home was identified in court documents.

The murder victim was identified as 27-year-old Xuanyi Yu, according to court documents filed by prosecutors in Santa Clara County. Yu and her husband, Liren Chen, both worked for Google as software engineers at the time of the killing. 

A Google spokesperson, Bailey Tomson, told KRON4 Monday, “We are shocked and deeply saddened by what has happened to Xuanyi. Our thoughts are with her family at this time, and we are working to provide support to them and to co-workers who are processing this tragic news.”

Chen, 27, made a chilling confession after police officers found his wife’s lifeless body on the floor of the couple’s blood-splattered bedroom on January 16. Paramedics asked Chen how he hurt his right hand, which was “extremely swollen and purple,” Santa Clara Police Department Detective Frank Hagg wrote in court documents. 

Chen replied, “I punched my wife,” according to Hagg. Paramedics asked him when, and he allegedly answered, “Yesterday.The detective wrote, “Based on my training and experience … I believe suspect Chen murdered his wife, victim Yu, by striking her in the head repeatedly.” 

Chen has no prior criminal record within the county, court records show. 

The Google engineers’ friends told police that they first became worried about the couple during a dinner party.

The night before Yu was found dead, she and her husband hosted a dinner party inside their house, located at 713 Valley Way in Santa Clara. One friend told police that “he was concerned about a noticeable change in Chen’s demeanor. Chen was quiet and staring blankly for much of the evening,” Hagg wrote.

I have seen quiet a few couples in same org. Most wierd I saw was the wife and husband from a vendor company working in same team. They are so close, its not believable. They would even have lunch together. Wife would take the stuff to microwave and heat and husband is looking at his phone. Then they would eat together. After that hold hands and go out for walk. They are always seen together. We wonder if they do not get tired of each other. They are not even newly weds. They have 2 kids 4-5 yrs at that time. Lucky people.
