The attackers waited for the Philadelphia businessman to open the garage door before barging in and bounding Chae, his wife and children, according to police.

The suspects then stabbed Chae and forced his wife to open a safe, stealing an undisclosed amount of money.

The viewing for Chae will be held at the George Washington Memorial Park and Mausoleums located at 80 Stenton Avenue in Plymouth Meeting, Pa starting at 8:00 p.m.

The funeral will follow on Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. at the same location.
