Plantation man charged with first degree murder of his wife

A Plantation husband has been charged with premeditated murder in the Friday night death of his wife.

Plantation police arrested Brandon Tuan Ngo, 51, after a standoff that had police warning people from 11:30 p.m. Friday until 2:27 a.m. Saturday to stay away from the area around the couple’s first floor apartment in Jacaranda Village. Online records identified his wife as Ngoc Thi Bich Nguyen, a 25-year-old cosmetologist.

Nguyen had been a licensed “full specialist” since 2014, meaning she’s licensed to provide a wide array of cosmetology services. Ngo has been a licensed manicurist since 2002.

Ngo’s being held in Broward County Jail without bond.
