In Hawaii, a man charged with the murder of three men in what authorities describe as 'heinous' killings has been ordered to undergo a mental fitness examination. The suspect reportedly made statements about the island being full of rapists and pedophiles and expressed a desire to 'chop them up with machetes.'

The case involves the police department and raises questions about the suspect's mental state and the appropriateness of the ordered evaluation. The next procedural step is the completion of the mental fitness exam to determine the suspect's competency to stand trial.
