A man has pleaded guilty to killing and dismembering his own mother before placing her remains inside a refrigerator in their Hawaii apartment and admitting his crimes to the police. A Honolulu court on Friday witnessed Yu Wei Gong plead guilty to manslaughter, abuse of a corpse, and second-degree identity theft in the September 2016 murder of his mother Liu Yun Gong, the Associated Press reports.

The remains of the woman were found wrapped in a total of seven plastic bags inside a fridge in the family's residence in Honolulu's beachfront neighborhood of Waikiki. 

According to law enforcement authorities, Wong called dispatch in April 2017 and told them he was suicidal. It was then that he confessed to responding officers, saying: "I killed my mother." Police said that they couldn't find the victim's remains when they first arrived at the home, which is located on 414 Launiu Street. They then proceeded to look in the refrigerator freezer and shockingly found the victim's head and other body parts placed separately in different plastic bags.
