Authorities say the bodies of a California doctor, his wife and their 5-year-old daughter were found wrapped in plastic and duct-taped in their garage.
That and other new details of the killings of 57-year-old Dr. Weidong "Henry" Han; his wife, 29-year-old Huijie "Jennie" Yu; and their daughter, Emily Han, were revealed in a Friday evening news release from the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department.
The department says the three were last seen on Tuesday night, a day before their bodies were discovered. Authorities say autopsies are pending, but all three appear to have been shot to death.
Twenty-seven-year-old Pierre Haobsh (HOWPSH') was arrested in connection with the killings.
Authorities say he's a U.S. citizen who had been living in Oceanside, California, and had recently been involved in a business deal with the doctor. Investigators trailing him with an arrest warrant took him into custody at gunpoint at a gas station in Bonsall, outside Oceanside in San Diego County.
The sheriff's statement says the suspect became sick and was briefly hospitalized but released.
