The 65-year-old Aliamanu man accused of killing his wife and stabbing his sister-in-law was released from Queen’s Medical Center Monday.
Isagani Fajotina was immediately booked on second-degree murder in connection with the fatal Jan. 18 stabbing of his wife, Melita Fajotina, while she was sleeping in the couple’s bedroom in their Aliamanu home.
An Oahu grand jury also charged Isagani Fajotina with the second-degree attempted murder of his 52-year-old sister-in-law.
After he was discharged from the hospital he was immediately taken to the cell block at the Honolulu police station where he remains in custody, unable to post bail of $1 million while awaiting arraignment.
Fajotina was hospitalized after stabbing his wife at the Queen’s Medical Center with self-inflicted injuries to his midsection.
The Honolulu medical examiner said Melita Fajotina, 65, died from stab and cut wounds to her neck.
The suspect had told police he cannot control himself when he gets angry and he had abused his wife fairly often.
During the grand jury proceeding, a city prosecutor said Fajotina and his wife were in a bedroom in their Wanaka Street home when their two grandchildren, who were sleeping with them, ran into Fajotina’s sister-in-law’s bedroom and reported that Fajotina had struck his wife.
Fajotina then attacked his sister-in-law who sustained cuts to her neck, hand and arm.
In 1987, Fajotina was arrested and charged with misdemeanor spouse abuse of his wife. He was granted a deferral and the charge was later dismissed.

What a pig! The stigma of spousal abuse must end, and each and every event needs to be seriously addressed by the courts. No deferrals. Ever. The fact that this beautiful woman ceases to exist on this earth saddens me tremendously.
agree..way too much domestic abuse out here. Some of it culturally sanctioned.
I concur. Same for pedophilia, rape, murder, driving drunk, stealing cars, burglary, lying, spitting in pubic places, homelessness, and so on. Dangerous repulsive folks.
Who would shed a tear if he was “lost” behind bars?
In the photo the suspect is wearing a shirt with the popular “Martian” cartoon character on it. One of that character’s main traits is that he’s unable to control his temper and is frequently angry. Not so funny in light of the situation. Not a laughing matter.
He must have “Flip”- out
Hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahaha!!!
Filipino word for crazy is LOKA LOKA!

Dementia.
Sadness. Mental illness.
Very sad case. Not unusual for people taking anti-depressant medications (selective serotonin inhibitors, serotonin & norepinephrine re-uptake inhibitors, norephinephrine & dopamine
re-uptake inhibitors) to suffer from severe mood swings, suicidal ideations, and violent behavior. Kind of ironic as these medications are supposed to treat people who suffer from
just this kind of symptoms but they end up causing the very behavior that they are supposed to prevent.
The shooters in the Columbine school massacre in Colorado, the Virginia Tech, Blackburg, Virginia massacre, and the movie theatre massacre in Aurora, Denver were all on
prescribed anti depressants. And there are numerous other shooting cases where the killers were all on prescribed anti depressants.
Unfortunately most of the first commenters on this article seem to suffer from some form of a mental illness as well, and don’t understand the underlying factors that contributed to his behavior.
Yes, there should be effort made to understand mental illnesses in general, and the specifics of each case. When all-knowing people rush to simple judgments like “he’s evil” or “lock ’em up,” they’re perpetuating the ignorance that allow these incidents to happen again and again.
