Police suspect man murdered ex-wife, then shot himself
WAILUKU, Maui (AP) — Maui police are investigating the deaths of a man and his ex-wife as a murder-suicide.
Police say they found Dominador Basuel dead outside a Kahului home Thursday with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Police say a handgun was near his body.
Inside the house, police found the body of his ex-wife, Leticia Basuel. Police say it appears she was wounded with a “bladed instrument.”
The Basuels were pronounced dead at the scene.
Guam government employee pleads guilty in meth case
HAGATNA, Guam (AP) — A former Guam Office of Homeland Security employee pleaded guilty to charges that he conspired to have a package of methamphetamine mailed to the office.
Ricky Sanchez, 39, entered his plea Wednesday to conspiracy to distribute meth as part of a plea deal that could get him a lesser sentence. Sanchez resigned from his position April 22, according to Jenna Gaminde, Homeland Security spokeswoman.
Court documents say Sanchez’s friend arranged for another man, Francisco Arias, to send Sanchez a package to the Homeland Security office in 2014. The package was intercepted by a postal inspector, who allegedly found more than 27 grams of meth inside.
Authorities later determined a second package was sent to the office and Sanchez received it.
Sanchez faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison or a $1 million fine, or both. As part of the plea agreement, he could get a lesser sentence if the government finds he fully cooperated in the investigation.
