ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. (WESH) — An arrest has been made for the death of a woman in Altamonte Springs.
Investigators said they found the victim Tuesday during a wellness check.
Xichen Yang, 21, is facing a first-degree murder charge along with a charge of tampering with evidence.
Yang was first taken into custody as a person of interest Tuesday.
"We have a victim who is deceased, as with any death, we're investigating this as a homicide," Michelle Montalvo said.
By mid-evening, Yang was arrested for the death of his wife, Nhu Quynh Pham.
According to the police report, Yang confessed to murdering Pham.
Police say he confessed to cutting Pham's throat with a knife, placing her in a bathtub & playing her favorite music for about 10 minutes while she died. He also said he held her hand & never called an ambulance.
When police arrived at the scene, they found Pham in the bathtub in blood.
After Pham died, Yang reportedly cleaned up the blood.
During an interview with police, Yang claimed he could've stopped but that's "not how he was raised" & he's a person who "goes all the way."
Yang was set to appear before a judge Wednesday afternoon, but the court appearance was delayed a day.
Police said Yang was in custody but awaiting medical clearance before being brought to the jail.
