Taniera Takentarawa, 26, who has no permanent local address and has been living aboard the fishing boat Vui Vui at Pier 36, is being held in lieu of $150,000. He is considered a flight risk since the Vui Vui is often at sea, according to prosecutors.
Takentarawa is accused of fatal stabbing death of Bright Obed, 34. Obed, who was not a crewmember of the Vui Vui, was stabbed once in the neck and three times in the back.
Obed's body was found face down on the Vui Vui. Police recovered a six-inch knife with a broken-edge three-inch blade near Obed's body.
