Four inmates at the O‘ahu Community Correctional Center have been indicted by a grand jury for manslaughter in the death of another inmate.
The indictment alleges Aaron Tuitelapaga, Bronson Tuitelelepaga, Manu Sorensen, and Josiah Palimoomanu beat Christopher Vaefaga to death on July 6.
A judge ordered three of the four to be held without bail. Palimoomanu’s bail was set at $500,000.
The Department of the Attorney General's Investigations Division conducted the investigation and the AG's Criminal Justice Division is prosecuting the case.
Manslaughter is a felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison.
