Waipahu man identified in fatal stabbing
The Honolulu Medical Examiner’s Office has identified the 42-year-old Waipahu man who died of apparent stab wounds Sunday night as Marlo G. Basuel.
In a release issued by the office Monday, the cause of his death was described as "exsanguination (loss of blood) due to stab wounds of the torso."
Paramedics took Basuel from a Kahaunani Street home at 9:48 p.m. to a hospital in "extremely critical condition." Basuel died at the hospital.
Honolulu homicide detectives have started a murder investigation. Earlier Monday, police interviewed a male suspect, but no arrests have been made.
Suspect sought in attempted bank robbery
Hawaii County police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a suspect wanted for the attempted robbery of a bank in Hilo.
Just before 6 p.m. Friday, police responded to a reported robbery attempt at the Territorial Savings Bank branch on Makaala Street. At about 5:53 p.m. a man entered the bank and produced a note demanding money. He fled without any money and was last seen running toward Pohaku Street.
No one was injured during the robbery attempt.
The suspect was described being in his mid- to late 20s, about 6 feet 1 inch to 6 feet 2 inches tall, about 185 to 200 pounds, with short, wavy black hair and facial acne.
The suspect appears to be the same person who entered the bank earlier in the day to inquire about banking there. Police recovered bank surveillance video and still images.
Kayaker who died was Ewa Beach man
The city Medical Examiner’s Office has identified the 39-year-old Ewa Beach man who died after his kayak overturned Sunday at Waialua’s Aweoweo Beach as Matthew Ely.
An autopsy will be conducted.
Bystanders told paramedics the man was on a kayak when it overturned at about 1:25 p.m., Emergency Medical Services said. He was pulled from under the water and brought to shore, where first responders began CPR.
Paramedics transported the man in critical condition to Wahiawa General Hospital, where he later died.
