Tulsi Gabbard’s Aunt Murdered by Prominent Samoan Author
The aunt of former Hawaiian Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard was brutally murdered in Samoa. The suspect is none other than the well-known Samoan author and playwright Papalii Sia Figiel, 57. The victim, Caroline Sinavaiana-Gabbard, 78, was a retired University of Hawaii professor and the sister of American politician Mike Gabbard.
The tragic incident occurred at the GaluMoana Theater in Vaivase-uta, where the two individuals got into a heated argument. Figiel, who was charged with the murder, allegedly stabbed Sinavaiana-Gabbard several times and beat her with a hammer until her death. Initially, Figiel was charged with suspicion of manslaughter, but after a preliminary investigation, authorities increased the charge to murder.
Caroline Sinavaiana-Gabbard was a prominent figure in the Samoan community, being the first Samoan to become a full professor in the United States. She was also a respected academic, writer, poet, and environmentalist. Her work in the literary world was highly regarded, and she was a well-known figure in the Samoan literary scene.
What a way to go when you're that old. Condolences to the family.
