HONOLULU—A Hawaii inmate convicted of the 1994 murder of a Japanese psychic and her son was killed in prison, authorities said.
Staff at the Halawa Correctional Facility in Aiea, outside Honolulu, found Raita Fukusaku, 59, bleeding on the floor of his cell with head and neck trauma early Monday, according to the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
“It was determined that the victim had been assaulted and stabbed by his cellmate, a 38-year-old male,” Honolulu police said in a public information bulletin.
The cellmate was immediately removed and placed in a holding unit, the corrections department said.
Authorities were still investigating Tuesday. The Honolulu medical examiner’s office had not yet released a cause of death….
