A MAN was arrested after he allegedly slit his wife’s throat and chillingly played her favorite music while she bled to death.
Shocking police body camera footage captured Xichen Yang, 21, as he was arrested on June 21 outside an apartment complex in Orlando, Florida.
The body of Yang’s wife, Nhu Quaynh Pham, 21, was found in a pool of blood in the apartment the couple shared together, said the Altamonte Springs Police Department.
Yang was not present at the time.
Investigators said that Yang’s employer had called because he was late for work.
That’s when Yang allegedly admitted to killing his wife, prompting the employer to call the police.
