Woman pleads not guilty to attempted murder in Waipahu double stabbing
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - The woman accused of stabbing her ex-lover and woman in Waipahu pleaded not guilty to attempted murder on Thursday, officials said.
Irene Guzman is charged with two counts of second-degree attempted murder and one count of first-degree attempted murder.
According to court documents, the victims were sleeping when the 31-year-old allegedly broke into her ex-boyfriend’s house and attacked both of them with a knife.
Law enforcement sources said when Guzman saw her ex-boyfriend asleep in bed with another woman she grabbed a knife from his kitchen and stabbed him in the head and arm.

Records show the couple’s two-year relationship had just ended. The victim told police he left Guzman three days before the attack.
Guzman’s bail is at $750,000 and her trial is set to start in September.
