HILO, Hawaii (KITV4) -- A Hilo man accused of killing his grandparents back in January has been deemed unfit to stand trial.
Court documents released on Friday show Joshua Ho has been committed to the custody of the State Health Director, to be placed in an appropriate institution for detention, care, and treatment.
Ho was charged with first-degree murder, two counts of second-degree murder, and one count of attempted second-degree murder for the Jan. 16 incident on Makalika Street.
During that incident, Ho allegedly killed his grandparents – Jeffrey Yoshio Takamine and Carla Kayoko Takamine -- and stabbed his 28-year-old brother, Kaulana Ho, causing serious but non-life threatening injuries.
Court documents say Ho suffers from schizophrenia and his mother, Cheryl, told investigators that her son was having an episode during the attack. Ho was eventually subdued by his brother and his father, Guy, before police arrived and arrested him.
