Hawaii man tells cops his mother is in the fridge
A Hawaii man arrested after the remains of his mother were discovered in a freezer in his apartment told police 'She's in the fridge,' when they arrived.
Yu Wei Gong, 26, was charged on Sunday with the second-degree murder of his mother, Liu Yun Gong. She was found wrapped in seven plastic bags inside a refrigerator freezer in her the sixth floor apartment in Honolulu's beachfront neighborhood of Waikiki.
Gong reportedly told police he accidentally killed her after he became angry because he didn't want to go to school. He reportedly admitted to killing her in September.
Authorities said Wong called dispatchers on April 11 saying he was suicidal and telling them 'I killed my mother.'

Police said they found the chopped up remains of Yu Wei Gong's mother in bags inside the freezer
Upon arrival to the home at Aloha Waikiki, 414 Launiu St, police said they at first could not find the victim's remains and Gong told them '[She's] in the fridge.'
Police looked in the refrigerator's freezer and found seven plastic bags, containing the head and body parts of the victim.
Authorities determined she had died from blunt force trauma to the head.
Police said Gong called it an 'accident' and said he didn't mean to do it.
Gong appeared in court Monday following his release from a psychiatric hospital and he did not speak. His public defender asked for a Mandarin interpreter.
His bail was set at $2million, according to the Star Advertiser.
Liu Yun Gong worked at a spa as a licensed therapist. When she didn't show up for work one day, her boss, Julie Kim, told the outlet she tried her cell phone several times but got no answer. 'Usually she responds very quick,' Kim said.
Later, she said Liu Yun's son called her and told her his mother had gone to a neighboring island and left her phone at home and wouldn't be back for a couple of months.
She said the last words the doomed woman said to her were 'See you tomorrow.'
