| Motive for Kahealani murder still unclear - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper (823 words) |
 | A police source said yesterday that Aki said he punched Kahealani after she slapped him while they were eating in his parked car at an 'Aiea park, then continued beating her outside the car with a metal pipe he found in the parking lot. |
| According to the source, Aki said he then went to wash his hands with water he had in his car, then came back and beat the girl a second time and poked her in the stomach with the pipe. |
| Aki's court-appointed attorney, deputy public defender Todd Eddins, said Aki was "depressed" when he met with him for half an hour yesterday, but appeared to be "stable, in a sound mental state" and said the suicide watch may be just precautionary. |
