The son of a former Hollywood agent has been reportedly charged with murdering his wife and her parents—just days after a woman’s dismembered body was found in a Los Angeles dumpster.
Samuel Bond Haskell IV, 35, was charged on Monday with three counts of murder and was ordered to be held without bail, according to NBC Los Angeles. A criminal complaint alleges Haskell murdered his 37-year-old wife, Mei Li, and her parents, 64-year-old Yanxiang Wang and 71-year-old Gaoshen Li. He was arrested on Wednesday after authorities discovered a woman's dismembered torso inside a dumpster, but the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office said Monday that the remains had yet to be identified.
Haskell made an initial appearance in court on Monday, but it is not immediately clear if he has retained a lawyer. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office told The Daily Beast that his arraignment is set for Dec. 8.
