A Kailua-Kona man facing multiple counts of murder and attempted murder in connection with stabbings in Hilo and Kona in 2022 has changed his plea to guilty. Chito Asuncion, 24, was indicted on charges of first-degree murder, first-degree attempted murder and two counts each of second-degree murder and second-degree attempted murder in connection with the stabbing deaths of 63-year-old Brian Macaulay and 48-year-old Boyd Maygra and the nonfatal stabbings of two others. In November, court proceedings were suspended when a mental evaluation was ordered.
