Prosecutors in Los Angeles County, California, have formally charged the son of a Hollywood power couple with killing his wife and her parents.

Samuel Bond Haskell, 35, was arrested back on Wednesday and held without bail on suspicion of murder. Local prosecutors announced Monday that he now faces three counts of murder and a special circumstance of multiple murders. Haskell is scheduled for arraignment to take place Dec. 8.

The incident publicly surfaced when a homeless person discovered a dismembered female torso at a strip mall dumpster Wednesday morning in the Encino neighborhood. Officers reportedly suspected these partial remains belonged to the defendant’s wife, Mei Li Haskell, 37. They now believe her father, Gaoshan Li, 72, and her mother, Yanxiang Wang, 64, to also be dead.
