Probable cause found to charge man in choking and stabbing of son-in-law
Superior Court Associate Judge Joseph N. Camacho found probable cause to warrant the filing of charges against Henley Kladikm, a 47-year-old man who, while intoxicated, allegedly stabbed his son-in-law with a knife and choked him at a residence on Navy Hill.
At the preliminary hearing on Monday, Camacho found probable cause to believe that the crimes of assault with a dangerous weapon and disturbing the peace were committed and that Kladikm may have committed the offenses.
Camacho, however, found no probable cause to charge the defendant with assault and battery. He dismissed the charge without prejudice.
Camacho said that based on the testimony of a police officer, assault and battery is already a lesser-included offense of assault with a dangerous weapon.
Assistant public defender Tillman Clark served as counsel for Kladikm.
The victim, Felix Kileleman, was treated by medics in an ambulance due to a cut in his hand, police said.
Police detective Therese S. Kintoki stated in her report that two police officers responded to Kileleman’s mother’s residence in China Town, where an injured person was reported last Oct. 24 at 10:03pm.
Kintoki said Kileleman told the responding officers that his father-in-law, Kladikim, broke into his house, threatened to kill him, and grabbed him around the throat.
The defendant allegedly repeatedly thrust a knife in a stabbing manner toward Kileleman while threatening to kill him. Ultimately, the victim suffered a cut on the hand.
Kileleman later managed to break free, ran out of the house and proceeded all the way to his mother’s house in China Town, where he called of medical assistance because his hand was bleeding badly.
He told officers he left behind his 3-year-old daughter at his house on Navy Hill.
