The Jan. 23 Ala Moana attack was carried out to cast doubt on who committed the April 7 acid attack on a woman outside of the 24-hour-fitness in Mililani, prosecutors allege.
Honolulu Police investigators say the chemical attack outside of a Mililani gym in April 2023 and the chemical attack in the Ala Moana area from January 2024 are linked.
Two men jailed for separate acts of allegedly throwing acid on women were indicted Tuesday by an Oahu grand jury for conspiring to carry out the Jan. 23 assault on a 25-year-old Chinese-language teacher to cast doubt on who committed a 2023 attack in Mililani.
