HILO, Hawai'i — Police detectives on the Big Island are investigating a fatal stabbing after a 57-year-old woman was found dead in her South Kona home Tuesday evening.

Acting Police Capt. Glenn Y. Uehana said police were called to a single-family home in a Ka'ohe, South Kona, subdivision shortly after 7 p.m. because of a reported stabbing, and found Victoria Vickers dead inside. Police declined to say where in the house Vickers was found.

The woman's 60-year-old male roommate was arrested on suspicion of murder at the same home, and is being held in the Kona police cellblock.

Uehana said preliminary reports suggest there was an argument at the home, which was being shared by at least four people.

A second woman who lives at the same house also suffered minor injuries, police said. That woman, 61, suffered cuts or stab wounds that could have been caused by a knife.

Uehana said police were investigating whether those might have been caused by the same weapon that killed the first woman, but said there were conflicting reports on how the second woman was injured.

Uehana said a fourth resident of the same home called police.

An autopsy will be conducted on Thursday to determine the cause of death for Vickers.
