Mundon died on May 10 after suffering two heart attacks brought on by blunt force trauma to the chest, by allegedly being kicked by Shane Duncan, the father of Annette's grandchildren.
Duncan, 27, of Kapa'a is being held at the Kauai Community Correctional Center on manslaughter, assault, unlawful imprisonment and other charges. Duncan is also accused of hitting and later imprisoning his girlfriend, Jaime Mundon, after kicking her mother in the chest and slamming her father, James Mundon's head against the door of his truck. The alleged events took place in the presence of the children of Jaime and Shane: a 7 month-old infant and another child.
Mundon was the second woman this year in Hawaii to die due to domestic violence. Friends said she was much loved and was a devoted mother who put her family first.
