Police have identified the 61-year-old man whose body was found yesterday off Round Top Drive, but the city medical examiner was withholding the name today pending notification of his family.

It's unclear whether the man had a downtown address or was homeless, said homicide Lt. Bill Kato. He apparently had been assaulted.

The body, found by a jogger yesterday near the 5-mile marker on Round Top, had been partially covered by a trash bag and showed evidence of a beating in the head and facial area, Kato said.

"There was definitely head trauma," Kato said. "It's a matter of the autopsy to see if that's what killed him."

Police Detective Letha DeCaires said that the CrimeStoppers hot line received calls last night from tipsters who believe they know who might have killed the man.

Experienced boater remains missing

The Coast Guard plans to decide later today whether to continue the search for 47-year-old Mark Brewer of Kaua'i, whose 22-foot catamaran was swamped in the Kaua'i Channel after he left Nawiliwili Harbor on Friday.

Today's search involved a Navy P3 fixed-wing plane, as well as the Coast Guard's Hercules C-130 plane, a helicopter and the cutter Washington, said Coast Guard Petty Officer Michael Wood.

The crews are searching the waters about 50 miles off O'ahu's western shore, near where the catamaran was found on Sunday, Wood said.

"At this point, there's still a probability that this person could be alive," he added.

Brewer was an experienced boater who often made the run to O'ahu in the catamaran and frequently escorts craft in open-ocean and single-man canoe races, said Kaua'i fire Battalion Chief Bob Kaden, who has overseen the island's lifeguard program.

Kailua teenager suspect in burglary

Police arrested a Kailua teenager late Sunday after he allegedly broke into a Hekili Street business while the shop owner and his family slept inside.

The owner of I & I Sports, 131 Hekili St., told police he was awakened at 11:45 p.m. Sunday by the sound of someone sawing through the roof.

After investigating, he said he saw the shadow of someone using a tool to punch through the roof and called police.

The male suspect, 17, allegedly fled but was found in the area and arrested. He has been released pending further investigation.

Man arrested in alleged assaults

Detectives are investigating attempted murder charges in the case of a 30-year-old Makaha man whose alleged three-day domestic abuse episode peaked when he ran his girlfriend down in a car on Saturday.

Police first were called after 2 a.m. Saturday at Nanakuli Beach Park after witnesses said the man drove his car into his 23-year-old girlfriend who had fled from the vehicle.

The suspect was arrested Saturday on unrelated warrants. But the victim, who had been taken to the hospital by the time police arrived, later told detectives about episodes of assault on Thursday and Friday at Mililani Cemetery and a pineapple field near Wahiawa.
