Walnut Creek Man Charged In Murder of Wife and Mother-in-Law
"A 43-year-old Walnut Creek man with an alleged history of domestic violence has now been charged with the murder of his wife and mother-in-law in the home that the three shared last week. We learned late last week about an unusual double homicide on a quiet cul de sac in Walnut Creek, in which two women were found dead inside a home on Kelobra Court."
"Wang was charged Monday with the murder of his wife, 41-year-old Linlin Guo, and the murder of his mother-in-law, Beimin Cheng. As Bay Area News Group reports, Wang called 911 just before 11:45 pm on Thursday night, September 18, to report that his wife and mother-in-law had been stabbed and that he'd caught an intruder in the act of killing them. He said he had fired his gun and the intruder ran off."
Howard Wang, 43, is charged with the murders of his wife, 41-year-old Linlin Guo, and his mother-in-law, Beimin Cheng, after two women were found dead in their Walnut Creek home on Kelobra Court. Wang called 911 shortly before 11:45 pm on September 18, claiming an intruder stabbed the women and fled after Wang fired his gun; police say his account quickly collapsed. Authorities identified prior domestic incidents, including an August 31 call resulting in charges for criminal threats and a January 7 incident with an alleged witness-dissuasion charge. Two children were home during the killings. Special enhancements apply for multiple victims. Wang faces potential life sentences and is scheduled for arraignment.
