A Filipino man allegedly stabbed his wife to death in Honolulu, Hawaii.

A deputy prosecutor told a judge Tue, Aug 25, that Pablo Fiesta Jr. stabbed his wife multiple times in front of their 10-year-old daughter, and then hit his wife in the head with a bottle of vinegar.

An Oahu grand jury has indicted the 46-year-old Fiesta with the murder of his wife Cecilia, who was found unresponsive in the couple’s home in Aliamanu last Aug 17.

Fiesta’s bail has been set at USD$500,000. He remains in custody.

Police say the family recently moved to Hawaii from the Philippines. (Read more on Balitang America.)
