#kehalani stabbing

The pre-trial conference for murder suspects, Stephen Schmidt, 45 and Healohaomakanaamekai Akahi Pua, 24, have been rescheduled.

Murder suspect Stephen B. Schmidt, 45, entered a not guilty plea to all five counts before Second Circuit Court Judge Richard Bissen on Tuesday morning, May 10, 2016.

“The sad thing also about this situation is that Kehau really did do everything we would suggest. She went to the store, she didn’t go by herself. Someone went with her. She got a restraining order. When he violated the restraining order, she called the police. The police arrested him. Everything was working the way it was supposed to work, and I think that’s what makes this doubly tragic,” said Moniz.

Handwritten notes, flowers and food are just some of the items being left at a memorial site outside of the Foodland Kehalani store in Wailuku where 24-year-old Kehau Farias Schmidt was fatally stabbed on Tuesday night.
