Benjamin Awong was bound with zip ties and tape, then beaten in the face with a handgun on a report that he had harassed someone, Deputy Prosecutor Chelsea Okamoto told a state judge Tuesday.

That was on May 10. Five days later, hunters found Awong’s body off a trail on the side of a hill in Kailua, his face decomposed beyond recognition.

The Honolulu Medical Examiner determined that Awong, 38, died from inflicted traumatic injuries to his head.

An Oahu grand jury returned an indictment Tuesday charging Keone Labatad and Stacey Maae with kidnapping Awong. So far no one is charged with murder.

Okamoto told Circuit Judge Shirley Kawamura that Maae, 34, also known as Stacey Costales, assisted in securing Awong’s hands behind his back with zip ties and tape in a Kaneohe home and wrapping zip ties and tape around Awong’s neck.

She said it was Labatad, 38, who struck Awong in the face and jaw with a handgun, then walked a bleeding Awong out of the home and into a car. Okamoto said a witness saw Labatad cleaning blood off the floor of the home the following day.

Honolulu police arrested Labatad on May 28 in Kaneohe. He has been in custody since then on $500,000 bail.

Kawamura doubled Labatad’s bail Tuesday to $1 million.

Maae has been in custody since her arrest May 16 in connection with an armed robbery a day earlier at a home near the Hawai‘i Convention Center.

Kawamura set Maae’s bail at $500,000.

Honolulu police say the owner of the Kaneohe home where Awong was bound and beaten had let Labatad stay there while she was away on the mainland. When she returned May 25 the woman told police she found her home trashed and damaged, and was told by a friend that there had been a killing at her house.

At the time of his arrest, Labatad was on probation for robbery. He also has convictions for assault, domestic abuse, criminal property damage and terroristic threatening.

Okamoto said Labatad has been arrested 65 times, 33 of those for contempt of court.

At the time of her arrest, Maae was out on bail pending prosecution for auto theft and fleeing the scene of a traffic accident that resulted in injury, and awaiting sentencing for burglary and drug possession. She has a prior convictions for burglary, theft, car theft and a car break-in.

Okamoto says Maae has 104 arrests, 38 for criminal contempt of court.

Awong has been under court supervision since 2005, when a state judge acquitted him of two auto thefts, a car break-in and a robbery by reason of insanity.
