HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Samoan police have charged a prominent playwright with the murder of retired UH professor Caroline Sinavaiana-Gabbard, former Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard’s aunt.
Police say Samoan playwright Papalii Sia Figiel, 57, was charged with the murder at her home.
She was initially arrested on manslaughter charges, but police upgraded the charge after finding “incriminating” evidence, including a small knife and hammer. A motive is still under investigation.
Media outlets report the two women were colleagues and friends, and that Gabbard was Figiel’s mentor.

Was the this in Samoa, or American Samoa? The article is lacking details.

Media outlets report the two women were colleagues and friends, and that Gabbard was Figiel’s mentor.I hate to use an old worn out cliche, but with friends like that, she had no need for enemies.

In Hawaii, most police are Samoan, or at least when we lived there.

In Hawaii, most police are bad cops, or at least when we lived there (Maui).

That occurred to me, also. The choice of tools suggests this was not a hit job or an argument getting out of hand.
