HILO, Hawai'i — Police detectives are investigating a fatal stabbing after a 57-year-old woman was found dead in her South Kona home Tuesday evening.

Acting Police Capt. Glenn Y. Uehana said police were called to a single-family home in a Ka'ohe, South Kona, subdivision shortly after 7 p.m. because of a reported stabbing.

Officers found Victoria Vickers dead inside. Police declined to say where in the house Vickers was found.

The woman's 60-year-old male roommate was arrested on suspicion of murder at the home, and was being held in the Kona police cellblock.

Uehana said preliminary reports suggest there was an argument at the home, which was being shared by at least four people.

A second woman who lives at that house also suffered injuries, police said. That woman, 61, suffered cuts or stab wounds that could have been caused by a knife.

Uehana said police were investigating whether those wounds might have been caused by the same weapon that killed Vickers, but said there were conflicting reports on how the second woman was injured.

Uehana said a fourth resident of the same home called police.

An autopsy will be conducted today. The Area II Criminal Investigative Section is handling the investigation.
