From City News Service:

SOUTH EL MONTE -- A Rosemead man accused of fatally stabbing his mother just under nine years ago and burying her body in the backyard of a condominium they shared will be arraigned next week on a murder charge.
John Taylor Huynh, 27, was arrested Friday after sheriff's homicide investigators unearthed a woman's body from the backyard of the condominium, according to the District Attorney's Office.
Authorities have not positively identified the body, but the criminal complaint alleges that the victim was Huynh's mother, Hong Tu Phuong, officials said.
The criminal complaint alleges that Huynh killed the woman some time between June and July 2002, and that he used a knife in the commission of the crime.
Huynh, who remains jailed, is due back in Pomona Superior Court Tuesday.
If convicted, he faces up to life in prison with the possibility of parole.

I feel really sad whenever I read about these kinds of incidents. Doing this to a parent is really feeling me sick.
