Prosecutors will seek life-without-parole sentencing for a 19-year-old man charged today with killing a McCully woman and stabbing her husband and 2-year-old daughter yesterday.

Sato Franklin S. Sigrah of a North Judd Street address was charged with attempted first-degree murder, second-degree murder, two counts of attempted second-degree murder — all Class-A felonies — and first-degree burglary, a Class-B felony. He is being held overnight at the main police station cellblock in lieu of $500,000 bail pending his initial appearance tomorrow at District Court. Sigrah's preliminary hearing will likely be scheduled at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Sigrah is accused of killing Lyola Mesebeluu, 27, who died at The Queen's Medical Center after being stabbed multiple times in the upper torso in the bedroom of Unit 11 on the third floor of 2222 Kapi'olani Blvd., a three-story walk-up apartment building, police said. Sigrah, who allegedly entered the apartment without permission, is also accused of stabbing Keith Mesebeluu, 26, the dead woman's husband, multiple times in the upper torso during a struggle, and the couple's 2-year-old daughter, Kiarra, who was in the bedroom with her mother.

Prosecutors plan to seek extended sentencing if Sigrah is convicted of first-degree attempted murder, and/or extended and enhanced sentencing for conviction of the murder, two attempted murder and burglary counts. The enhanced sentencing applies to the attempted murder of the child. In both scenarios, prosecutors will seek a life sentence without the possibility of parole.

Sigrah is employed by a drugstore chain in Waikiki and is a citizen of one of The Federated States of Micronesia, police said.

According to a affidavit filed at District Court, police were sent to the apartment building to investigate a domestic argument and report of a man in apartment 11 with a knife and another man yelling for an ambulance.

Upon entering the apartment, police found Lyola Mesebeluu lying on the bedroom floor and bleeding; Keith Mesebeluu standing near the bedroom door covered in blood, and Sigrah sitting on the kitchen floor, also covered in blood, the document stated.

Keith Mesebeluu gestured toward Sigrah, and told police, "He stabbed me and my family," the affidavit said. Mesebeluu also told police he and his family did not know Sigrah.

Keith Mesebeluu told police he was in the living room and was awakened by his wife's screams. He allegedly saw Sigrah standing over her in the bedroom and went after the suspect.

Police said today that Keith Mesebeluu and his daughter are expected to recover from their injuries. An autopsy is scheduled tomorrow to determine cause and manner of Lyola Mesebluu's death.

Keith Mesebeluu, who is from the Republic of Palau, told police he and his family do not know Sigrah.
