A Gardena man admitted Tuesday that he killed his sister, who was found dead on the kitchen floor of their family home, police said.
John Long Liu, 60, was taken into custody shortly after 1 p.m. at the house in the 1100 block of West 163rd Street, Gardena police Lt. Uikilifi Niko said.
Firefighters responded to the house regarding a woman not breathing and determined her to be dead, Niko said.
They then called police because they suspected foul play.
The victim, whose name was not immediately released, lived in the home with other adult relatives. She was in her late 50s.
