Rosemead: February 2012 Archives
EL MONTE -- A Rosemead man pleaded not guilty Friday to charges of attempted murder and mayhem stemming from a knife-attack on his brother, authorities said.
Thomas Chu, 58, was ordered to return to El Monte Superior Court Feb. 29 for a preliminary hearing, Los Angeles County Superior Court officials said.
He's accused of slashing and seriously wounding his 59-year-old brother Feb. 11 at the brothers' home in the 8800 block of Jenny Way.

Investigators have said the argument stemmed from the borrowing of a car.

ROSEMEAD -- A man slashed and seriously injured his brother Saturday during an argument at their Rosemead home, authorities said.
Thomas Chu, 57, was expected to be booked on suspicion of attempted murder and mayhem in connection with the attack, which took place about 6 p.m. at a house in the 8800 block of Jenny Way, Los Angeles County sheriff's Sgt. Jim Dexter said.
Chu became involved in an argument with his 59-year-old brother regarding the borrowing of a car, the sergeant said.
He then pulled a knife and slashed his older brother on his face, back and arms, Dexter said.
The wounded man suffered serious injuries, though they were not believed to be life-threatening, officials said.
The allegation of mayhem against Chu, legally defined as the malicious disfiguring or disabling of another person, results from the wounds the victim suffered to his face, officials said.
Chu surrendered without a struggle when deputies arrived, Dexter said. He was hospitalized for a pre-existing medical condition prior to be being booked into jail.
