*UPDATE* Police Arrest Mountain View Man for Puna Murder (http://www.bigislandnewscenter.com/polic...una-murder) Big Island Police have arrested a 48-year-old Mountain View man, Walter Boyd Bremmer, for a murder that occurred earlier this year in Puna.
On January 28, the body of 52-year-old Robert John Leong was found at a home in the Eden Roc subdivision. An autopsy determined that the victim died from a combination of ligature strangulation and a brain injury from a gunshot wound.
At 6:45 p.m. Wednesday (October 3), detectives from the Area I Criminal Investigations Section arrested Walter Boyd Bremmer on suspicion of second-degree murder in connection with the investigation. Bremmer was also arrested on suspicion of first-degree burglary and use of a firearm in commission of a separate felony. He remains in the Hilo police cellblock as detectives continue their investigation.
***On a side note, I knew Walter. He was my neighbor on Moano (Rd 4). He is a BAD dude -- into drugs and guns. Walter was involved in another murder in Oregon in 2009.
