A Hawaii man has been charged with second-degree murder after his wife was found dead in their home with a tomahawk and fire extinguisher nearby. Frank Bright, 38, is accused of killing his 43-year-old wife, Aimee Takaki-Bright, in their Halawa residence on September 4, 2025.
The case began when the couple’s landlord called police for a welfare check after finding the front door open and items scattered inside the home. When officers arrived, they discovered Takaki-Bright unresponsive in the hallway with multiple injuries to her face, neck, and back of her head. Police found a black tomahawk blade and white fire extinguisher near her body.
