Local Man Charged with Murder in Oakland Beating Death
A 50-year-old man, Marion Chesher, has been slapped with a murder charge following the suspected beating death of his 63-year-old girlfriend, Meili Liu. According to authorities and court records, Liu's body was discovered badly beaten inside their shared residence on Schyler Street in the Dimond district early Friday morning.
Chesher, who is also believed to be the homeowner, called the fire department rather than police after discovering his partner unconscious. It was the fire department that alerted law enforcement, leading to the eventual arrest of Chesher at the scene. Liu was rushed to a hospital, where she sadly succumbed to her injuries.
As investigators continue to probe the circumstances surrounding Liu's death, they have yet to establish a motive for the attack. Police are still uncertain whether Liu suffered blunt force trauma from an object or punches alone. Despite this uncertainty, Chesher has been taken into custody without bail and is set to face arraignment on Tuesday.
The relationship between Chesher and Liu, who had been together for over 10 years, remains under scrutiny as authorities seek answers about the brutal nature of their demise. The case is a heart-wrenching reminder of the devastating consequences of domestic violence and the importance of seeking help when needed.

!!! i cant even believe someone would do that to another human being, especially someone who loved them for so long... 10 years is a looong time to be with someone, u would think they know each other's love language by now 
. domestic violence is such a real and serious issue, we need more awareness and support for the victims and their families 
. hopefully justice will be served and marion chesher gets the help he needs... but i gotta wonder if he was in some kind of emotional crisis or something that led him to do this... 
thinking about this poor woman meili liu she was only 63 
its so sad that their relationship ended like this too they had been together for over 10 years it mustve been so confusing and hurtful for both of them 
anyway i hope marion cheshers lawyer gets him the best defense possible 'cause let's be real he needs all the help he can get 
meanwhile lets focus on supporting survivors of domestic violence and making sure they get the resources they need to stay safe 
this is such a tragic story 
my heart goes out to Meili Liu's family and loved ones 
we can't ignore the warning signs or the impact it has on families and communities 
. But you know what really gets me? The lack of accountability for domestic violence. We're always talking about how it's a "silent killer" and we need to do more to help victims, but then we have cases like this where someone gets arrested and that's basically it 
. I mean, we're gonna lock him up without bail? That's harsh, man 
. He might've done something crazy, but let's not assume he's a monster just 'cause Liu died in his care 
. It's like, what about the girl who just died? Shouldn't we be focusing on finding out why she got hurt in the first place instead of putting all the blame on her partner? 
. Like what happened to Meili Liu is just heartbreaking. I'm so sorry she had to go through that. And for Marion Chesher to be charged with murder... it's a whole different level of worry. It makes you wonder what was going on behind those closed doors. 10 years together, and still, things escalated like this? It's like the system failed her in some way.
, and we need to keep talking about it until people start listening. These cases don't just affect one person; they ripple out into families, communities... everyone. So let's hope Marion gets the help he needs and that justice is served for Meili

This case is a stark reminder that domestic violence can happen to anyone, regardless of their background or relationship status. It's heartbreaking to think that Meili Liu's life was brutally cut short in the hands of her own partner. We need to keep talking about this issue and support those who are struggling with it, so we can create a safer world for everyone 
It's not always about a physical fight; sometimes it's just about control and power. Anyway, my take on this whole situation is that the justice system will hopefully do its part in making sure Chesher is held accountable for his actions... but at the same time, I'm also hoping that this case serves as a catalyst for people to seek help and support when they need it – whether it's a loved one or themselves 
, can't believe this is happening in our own backyard! Like, how could someone just beat up their partner like that? 
. can't help but feel so much for Meili Liu's family and loved ones, who are going through this unbearable pain 
.
. think about it: if Chesher was gonna do this to Meili in their own home, that means he must've had some major red flags warning him that something was off 
. so maybe this is an opportunity for the community to come together & support survivors of domestic violence? 
like we can always make a difference one person at a time
