Redfin lists home where Google worker allegedly killed wife as for sale

A house in Santa Clara is listed on Redfin for $2.12 million, boasting features like a two-car garage, air conditioning, exquisite cabinetry, and top-of-the-line appliances. However, the listing fails to mention the unfortunate history of the house, which was previously occupied by a Google engineer who allegedly beat his wife to death inside the home.

The Google engineer, Xuanyi Yu, was found dead inside the house earlier this year, with her husband, Liren Chen, arrested and charged with her murder. Chen was found inside the house motionless on his knees with his hands in the air when police conducted a welfare check. Yu had severe blunt force injuries to the head, and Chen admitted to punching his wife when paramedics asked how he hurt his hand.

The California Association of Realtors requires sellers to disclose any deaths on a property in the past three years, but it is unclear if this information was provided in the listing for the Santa Clara house. KRON4 has reached out to the property’s listing agent for clarification, but has not yet received a response.

In conclusion, a house in Santa Clara with a dark history of violence and tragedy is on the market, raising questions about the transparency of property listings and the obligations of sellers to disclose such information to potential buyers.
