HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – Accused killer Rogelio Canilao must undergo another mental health exam to determine if he can stand trial.
Canilao appeared in court virtually today from OCCC.
He pleaded not guilty to murdering his estranged wife, Teresita.
Canilao was charged after 76-year-old Teresita Canilao was found bludgeoned to death in October 2022 in her Sheridan Street apartment.
He allegedly attacked her with a wooden stool, repeatedly striking her in the face.
In 2023, a judge ruled Caniloa was “mentally unfit” for trial.
A panel of three experts will now review him again for an update.
