2 NATIVE HAWAIIANS FOUND GUILTY OF HATE CRIME AFTER BEATING A WHITE MAN IN 2014

During his trial, Brown admitted to burglarizing the vacation rental on Oahu's famed North Shore with his ex-girlfriend and helping tie up Thelma Boinville and her daughter, 8, when the 51-year-old mother showed up to clean the house, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported. But he said it was his ex-girlfriend, Hailey Dandurand, who killed Boinville.

Dandurand, who has pleaded not guilty, is scheduled to go to trial separately.

Boinville was found killed with a machete.

Dandurand and Brown were arrested near Boinville’s vehicle at the Town Center of Mililani the same day her body was found.
