Wei Hou, 41, a convicted felon who got out of state prison in October, was busted on Christmas Eve in a motel in Schodack, N.Y., just south of Albany, ABC reported.
Zhu Hou was found dead from apparent blunt-force injuries after an explosive family argument inside her apartment in Knickerbocker Village, at Monroe and Market Sts., just before 8 p.m. Dec. 19, police officials and sources previously said.
The woman suffered multiple injuries to her head and body. A bloody skateboard was found next to her body, a police source previously said.
Cops immediately zeroed in on Wei Hou after his older brother discovered the mom’s body.
Wei Hou is facing second-degree murder charges, authorities said. He was released on parole from state prison on Oct. 14 after serving four months of a two-year sentence for cocaine possession in upstate Oneida County, records show.
The marshals said in a press release that was later taken down that he had an extensive criminal record in more than one state.
According to a law enforcement source, Wei Hou was injured during the arrest and is currently hospitalized. It was not immediately clear when he would be arraigned on his charges.
