Liren Chen, 27, allegedly punched his wife in the head repeatedly at their home on Valley Way in Santa Clara, police said in court records.
After entering the home and taking Chen into custody, court records show officers found Yu’s body on the bedroom floor with severe blunt-force injuries to her head. The floor, wall and door of the room were covered in blood spatter.
“Chen’s right hand was extremely swollen and purple,” a police detective wrote. “He had blood on his clothing, his legs, arms, and hands.”
When asked how he hurt his hand, Chen allegedly told first responders, “I punched my wife.” He then indicated that the attack had occurred the day prior.

Chen is currently in the hospital awaiting a court hearing and has not been arraigned as of Friday morning. He faces life in prison without the possibility of parole if convicted.
“We will be returning to court each day until Mr. Chen is released from the hospital and able to be personally present for his arraignment,” the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office said in a statement.
