Oahu man indicted for murder, stabbing at Halawa park

An Oahu grand jury indicted a 38-year-old man today for murder in the death of Maylila Pulu, 45, and for attempted murder in the stabbing of a second woman early Sunday morning at a Halawa park.

Reggie Lautalo, the ex-boyfriend of Pulu, was seen allegedly stabbing Pulu multiple times, the Honolulu Prosecutor’s Office said in a news release.

Lautalo was indicted on second-degree murder and second-degree attempted murder, which both carry a sentence of life with the possibility of parole.

If convicted, he could face a sentence of life without the possibility of parole as he is subject to extended sentencing as a multiple and persistent offender.

Police were called to Kalaloa Street at 12 :30 a.m. Sunday and found Pulu unconscious, lying on the ground, bleeding from stab wounds. She was taken to the hospital, where she died at 2 :55 a.m. Sunday.

Meki Lautalo, 33, was also found at the scene, bleeding from stab wounds to her leg. She was also taken to the hospital, where she was treated and released.
