Share

Police arrested last week two of the five suspects who allegedly beat up three men in Chalan Kanoa.

Darren Michael, 23, a cook, and Steve Hanson Paul, 19, also known as Myson, were arrested for aggravated assault and battery, assault and battery, and disturbing the peace. Their bail was set at $10,000 cash each; preliminary hearing will be on March 16 at 1:30pm.

Private attorneys will be appointed as counsel for Michael and Paul. Assistant attorney general Jonathan Glass Jr. appeared for the government.

In the alleged attack, Gordon Jake Phillip was seriously injured while two of his friends—Anisio Sukuna and Albert Esufo—were knocked unconscious when five men, including a juvenile armed with a baseball bat, attacked them last March 5.

Phillip is now in the intensive care unit of the Commonwealth Health Center.

Sukuna suffered lacerations behind the head, face, lips, ears, and cheeks, while Esufo sustained minor injury to the right eye and scratches on the right knee, police said.

Ethan James Teregeyo Calvo, 19, was earlier arrested and had a bail hearing last Wednesday. His bail was set at $25,000 cash. Assistant public defender Michael Sato is his counsel.

The two remaining suspects are Hansen Rudolph, and a male juvenile. It is not clear whether the two were also arrested.
