Four Oahu Community Correctional Center inmates were indicted Wednesday on the charge of manslaughter in the 2020 beating death of fellow inmate Christopher Vaefaga, 36.

Nelson Coburn, a US Navy veteran, slammed Hawaiis lax prison policies for placing his father in a cell with a Satanic phrogger, who beat him to death while guards failed to open the door.

Jail staff knew that admitted killer Ezequiel Zayas was mentally ill and should not have placed him in the cell that day, his lawyer said.

Ezequiel Zayas, who gained national notoriety for secretly living inside a Navy family’s home on Oahu and planning to perform surgery on them and later killing a 62-year-old fellow inmate while awaiting trial, was sentenced Wednesday to 40 years in prison.

Ezequiel Zayas, the 30-year- old man who secretly lived in a military family’s home in 2019 and plotted to perform surgery on them, pleaded guilty Wednesday morning in Circuit Court to first-degree burglary in that case and also pleaded guilty in three other cases.

Oahu Community Correctional Center failed to follow "common sense correctional practices" and placed the 62-year-old prisoner in jeopardy, the lawsuit says.
