Hawai‘i Island police detectives are continuing their homicide investigation following a recent domestic incident in Puna that left a 58-year-old woman, positively identified as Teri Lynn Apple, dead. 
 
During an autopsy completed earlier this week, the forensic pathologist ruled that Apple died as a result of multiple chop wounds and sharp-forced injuries, and ruled the manner of death as homicide.
 
The suspect, 52-year-old Christopher Roy Howlind, remains hospitalized in stable condition. Due to Howlind’s current medical status, he has not yet been charged.
 
Police ask anyone who may have information related to the incident to contact the police department’s non-emergency number at (808) 935-3311, or Detective Clarence Davies of the Area I Criminal Investigation Section, at (808) 961-2382 or via email at Clarence.Davies@hawaiicounty.gov.
