這兩天,“谷歌夫妻案”鬧得沸沸揚揚,倆人都是清華學霸,有著令人羨慕的高薪工作,誰能想到會是這樣的結局。
從最開始流傳的疑似因為裁員雙雙自殺,到前幾天真相大白,妻子是活生生被丈夫打死的。如果罪名成立,他將面臨終身監禁,不得假釋。
國外媒體也對此事進行了報道:
According to his Linkedin, Chen worked on the YouTube shorts algorithm for Google, while Yus page says she was a software engineer.
根據陳立仁(Liren Chen,音譯)的領英簡介,他曾為谷歌研究 YouTube短影片演算法,而於萱怡(Xuanyi Yu,音譯)的介紹則顯示她是一名軟體工程師。
Both of them studied in China atTsinghua Universityand at the University of California San Diego.
兩人都曾在中國的清華大學和加州大學聖地亞哥分校學習。
Part 1 案件回顧
The Google engineer charged withmurderlast week admitted tobeatinghis wife to death with his fist in their $2million Santa Clara home, court documents obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com reveal.
《每日郵報》獨家獲得的法庭檔案顯示,上週被控謀殺的谷歌工程師承認在他們價值 200 萬美元的加州聖克拉拉家中用拳頭毆打妻子致死。
Police noticed that suspect Liren Chen’s right hand was ‘extremely swollen and purple’ and that he had blood on his clothing, legs, arms, and hands, records reveal.
記錄顯示,警方注意到嫌疑人陳立仁的右手“極度腫脹和發紫”,他的衣服、腿、胳膊和手上都有血跡。
A friend of Chen told police he’d seen Chen with his wife Xuanyi Yu that prior night, when he joined them for dinner at their house, and that Chen was oddly ‘quiet and staring blankly for much of the evening.’
陳立仁的一位朋友告訴警方,前一天晚上,他和陳立仁及他的妻子於萱怡一起在他們家吃晚飯,陳表現地很奇怪,“整晚都很安靜,目光呆滯”。
The friend told police that he was concerned about this ‘noticeable change in Chen’s demeanor,’ the report states.The friend returned to the house in Santa Clara the next day, January 16, to check on him.
報告稱,這位朋友告訴警方,他對“陳立仁舉止的明顯變化”感到擔憂。第二天(1 月 16 日),這位朋友回到聖克拉拉的房子檢視陳的情況。
He walked around back and saw Chen through a rear window motionless on his knees with his hands in the air, staring blankly, according to the ‘statement of facts’ filed by police and obtained by DailyMail.com.
根據《每日郵報》獲得的警方的“事實陳述”,他繞到後面,從後窗看到陳立仁一動不動地跪在地上,雙手舉在空中,眼神茫然。
Unable to get Chen to respond, the friend called 911. Officers saw Chen through the window with blood on his jacket and socks.
由於怎麼呼喊,他都毫無反應,於是這位朋友撥打了 911。警察透過窗戶看到陳的外套和襪子上都有血跡。
He remained unresponsive, prompting them to force their way inside. They took Chen into custody, and found his wife, a fellow Google engineer, lying on the floor in a bedroom directly behind him.
他仍然毫無反應,警察只能強行進入。他們拘留了陳,並發現他的妻子——也是一位谷歌工程師——躺在他身後臥室的地板上。
According to police, she had ‘severe blunt force injuries’ to her head. There was also blood spatter on the ground and the back of the door.Besides the extremebruisingand blood on his right hand and body, police noticed that Chen’s sandals, found in the hallway, were also splattered with blood.
據警方稱,她的頭部有“嚴重的鈍器傷”。地面和門後也有血跡噴濺。除了右手和身上的嚴重瘀傷和血跡外,警方還注意到走廊裡陳的涼鞋也濺滿了血跡。
When fire department personnel asked the 27-year-old how he hurt his hand, he replied, ‘Ipunchedmy wife,’ and told them it happened ‘yesterday,’ records state.
記錄顯示,當消防隊人員問這位 27 歲的年輕人手是怎麼受傷的,他回答說“我打了我的妻子”,並告訴他們是“昨天”發生的。
No weapon was found, but the detective who wrote the report stated that Chen apparently used his bare hands to kill her, ‘striking her in the head repeatedly.’
現場沒有發現兇器,撰寫報告的警探說,陳顯然是徒手殺死了她,“多次毆打她的頭部”。

‘That’s my bedroom window right there,’ next door neighbor Jenny Powell, 43, told DailyMail.com. ‘I’m shocked. All this was happening and I had no idea.’
43歲的隔壁鄰居珍妮·鮑威爾告訴《每日郵報》:“那是我臥室的窗戶。我很震驚。所有這一切都已經發生了,而我卻毫不知情。”
Powell said Chen and his wife had been living there just since last April with a cat named Cooper and seemed friendly, bringing her cookies and a card when they moved in.
鮑威爾說,陳和他的妻子從去年 4 月起就和一隻名叫庫珀的貓住在這裡,他們看起來很友好,搬進來時還給她帶了餅乾和卡片。
But the couple mostly kept to themselves. Powell’s son, upon hearing about the homicide, told his mom, ‘You mean the shut-ins next door?’
但這對夫婦大多數時候都獨來獨往。鮑威爾的兒子在聽說兇殺案後問媽媽:“你是說隔壁那對閉門不出的夫婦嗎?”
‘They weren’t here long and they didn’t interact with a lot of people,’ Powell said.
鮑威爾說:“他們在這裡呆的時間不長,也沒有和很多人打交道。”

Another neighbor, Sylivia Atondo, told DailyMail.com that she’d seen the couple just a few times walking down the block.
另一位鄰居西莉維亞·阿東多告訴《每日郵報》,她只在街區裡見過這對夫婦幾次。
‘They seemed friendly when we saw them, nothing out of the ordinary,’ she said.
她說:“我們看到他們時,他們看起來很友好,沒有什麼異常。”
She said her neighborhood is close-knit and gossipy, so ‘if there was any argument involving neighbors, people around here would talk about it. But there was nothing. That’s why neighbors are completely shocked.’
她說,她所在的街區鄰里關係很好,也很喜歡八卦,所以“如果有任何涉及鄰居的爭吵,周圍的人都會談論。但是什麼也沒有發生。這就是鄰居們完全震驚的原因。”
Google spokesperson Bailey Tomson told The New York Post in a statement: We are shocked and deeply saddened by what has happened to Xuanyi.Our thoughts are with her family at this time, and we will work to provide support to them and to co-workers who are processing this tragic news.
谷歌發言人貝利·湯姆森在一份宣告中告訴《紐約郵報》:“我們對萱怡的遭遇感到震驚和悲痛。此時此刻,我們與她的家人同在,我們將努力為他們和相關同事提供支援。”
陳立仁為何暴力毆打妻子致死?到底真相如何,還有待警方進一步調查。作為旁觀者的我們,在極度惋惜的同時更要從這起悲劇事件中吸取教訓。
有些人在大眾眼裡光鮮亮麗,一開始戀愛也許並未發現對方的問題,只有在建立親密關係後才暴露出人性最隱蔽的惡魔一面。
如何識別有暴力傾向的人?
有暴力傾向的人具有三種特徵:
1)人際關係較差。有暴力傾向的人為人處世喜歡以自我為中心,甚至有些偏執,處事方式上不太懂得尊重人。和周圍的人關係比較緊張,生活圈子較窄,矛盾出口單一。
2)性格衝動。有暴力傾向的人,屬於衝動性人格的居多。遇事偏感性,內心敏感,一點就著。往往話還沒有說完,就已動手,動手後又容易後悔。
3)控制慾強。暴力性傾向的人最明顯的特點就是控制慾強,喜歡讓周圍的人服從自己。為了達到讓別人服從自己的目的,有時會施予好處,有時會透過暴力控制。
