Two people have been arrested after a 51-year-old woman was found dead at a Honolulu, Hawaii holiday home.
Deputy Chief John McCarthy says Telma Boinville, was killed in a rental home that she had been cleaning.

The victim’s eight-year-old daughter was found uninjured and tied up in a different room with a bag placed over her head.
A man and woman were arrested after police tracked down the dead woman’s vehicle.
As they were hauled into police cruisers and driven away, more than 60 onlookers shouted angrily at the two
‘Good job, cops!’ one onlooker yelled, while others shouted obscenities at the pair.
