Ratchanok Seesura, a 28-year-old Asian woman, was stabbed to death in an alleged domestic dispute at 10429 La Reina Ave. in Downey about 3:25 a.m. Monday, Feb. 25.

According to authorities, officers from the Downey Police Department responded to a radio call of domestic violence at the address. Upon arrival, officers discovered Seesura inside her bedroom, bleeding from multiple stab wounds. Paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene about 3:45 a.m.

Her 3-year-old child, who walked out of the apartment, was later found inside a neighbor's home, police said.

As police were investigating, the California Highway Patrol responded to a radio call of an accident at the Rose Hill exit off the 605 Freeway. Among the involved drivers was Kris Young Lee, 35, who lived at the same address as Seesura.

Police said Lee confessed to a CHP officer that he killed his wife with a kitchen knife during an argument. He was hospitalized at County-USC Medical Center and was later arrested on suspicion of murder.
