Police say Thuy Van Vo, 31, of Philadelphia tried to kill himself Tuesday shortly before police tried to interview him about the murder of the mother known as Kim by her adoring customers.
After his Tuesday suicide attempt Vo was taken to Albert Einstein Medical Center for psychiatric evaluation, when he was released Friday police took him into custody.
Sources say last evening during a police interview Vo pretended to fall unconscious and members of the Tri-Hampton Rescue Squad were called to police headquarters where it was discovered he was fine.
DA David Heckler told Philly.com that Vo had been arguing with Huynh in the days leading up to the Monday murder.
A break in the case came when police tracked a cell phone call from Vo to the Southampton area shortly before Huynh was murdered.
Court Records indicate that Huynh had lent Vo $4,000 and Vo had only paid back a portion of that money. Vo told investigators that he paid back varying amounts of money and eventually investigators found close to $4,000 cash in his pocket.
Vo who strangled Huynh and left her on the bathroom floor also took $100 in cash and two cell phones from the salon Monday morning.
Vo was arraigned last night and is being held in county jail without bail.
