On March 10, 2024 a familicide occurred in Manoa, Hawaii when five members of a single family, including three children were stabbed in an apparent murder-suicide.[1] Police first received an anonymous call at 8:30am, then returned at 9:15am, where they then discovered the bodies. The deceased included the suspect, a 46 year old male, his 48 year old wife, and their three children aged 17, 12, and 10. [2] The motive remains unknown, but there is speculation that it could be related to domestic violence.[3] Honolulu Police are yet to release the names of the victims. It is Hawaii’s deadliest mass killing since the Xerox murders in 1999.
