County sheriff's deputies who went to check on the welfare of 57-year-old Dr. Weidong "Henry" Han on Wednesday found his body, the body of his 29-year-old wife, Huijie "Jenni" Yu, and the couple's 5-year-old daughter, Emily Han, in the family's multimillion-dollar home on the outskirts of Santa Barbara.
They had been shot in the head and their bodies had been found wrapped in plastic and duct-taped in the garage, authorities said.
A loaded gun and property belonging to one of the victims was found inside the car Haobsh was driving during his arrest.
The two men were recently involved in a business deal but nobody knows why the family was really killed because Haobsh isn't been cooperative with the police and it's not known if he has a lawyer.
The killings shook Santa Barbara, where Han was a popular figure. He had owned and operated the Santa Barbara Herb Clinic since 1991, according to the clinic's website. Public records show he is a licensed acupuncturist.
A biography on his website says he earned degrees in Oriental and Western medicine from a Beijing university in 1982, graduating at the top of his class. He moved to the U.S. a few years later to study psychology.
Han came from a family of Chinese doctors and provided traditional treatments including acupuncture, acupressure and herbal formulas from an on-site Chinese pharmacy.
