Law enforcement officials in California say a woman allegedly stabbed her wife to death and injured her mother-in-law using a samurai sword, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
According to the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office, Weichien Huang, 44, allegedly slashed her wife Fei Chen Chen with a katana sword at their home in San Dimas on July 18, Front Page Detectives reported.
Baula was allegedly having a dispute with the new owners of his practice, authorities said.
Huang’s mother-in-law was also stabbed during the incident.
Authorities said Chen’s mother was able to wrestle the sword away from Huang before she was able to inflict any more harm.
Buchanan was transported to the hospital, where she would die from her injuries.
The mother-in-law did suffer serious injuries from the attack and was taken to the hospital, according to reports.
In a video obtained by KTLA, a sword can be seen propped on the back of a U-Haul on the street at the crime scene.

When a deputy from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office responded to the area, Huang allegedly picked up the sword and started walking toward him.
