ARRESTED murder suspect Luis Gaily Seagraves Jr., 28, is expected to arrive on Guam this weekend after waiving his extradition rights.
This was announced yesterday by Chief Prosecutor Phil Tydingco, who said that two local enforcement officials—an investigator from the Attorney General’s Office and a marshal from the Superior Court of Guam—were sent to Houston, Texas to escort Seagraves.
Seagraves is a suspect in the murder of Michelle Limtiaco in 1996.
Seagraves is waiting for extradition in a federal detention facility in Texas. He was arrested last weekend in Nicaragua and was turned over to U.S. authorities.
The suspect was arrested Sunday by virtue of a warrant issued by Guam Superior Court in connection with the Limtiaco murder case.
“They detained him at the request of the government of Guam, in cooperation with federal authorities,” Tydingco earlier said.
Seagraves was indicted for the third time in July 2006, along with his uncle Arthur G. Seagraves and another defendant, Mario Leon Guerrero.
The Seagraves and Leon Guerrero were charged with two counts of conspiracy to commit aggravated murder, two counts of aggravated murder with a special allegation of possession and use of a deadly weapon in the commission of a felony, and first-degree robbery as a first-degree felony.
The indictment stated that the two Seagraves, Leon Guerrero and other un-named individuals conspired to commit the aggravated murder on July 10, 1996.
Court records stated that the three defendants intentionally and with premeditation caused the death of Limtiaco by stabbing her with a knife.
Earlier police reports said Limtiaco was stabbed more than 40 times. Limtiaco’s body was found in front of the old Guam Memorial Hospital in Tumon.
According to the grand jury indictment, the three defendants and other un-named individuals took the victim’s car, handbag and other miscellaneous personal property on the same date.
Warrants were issued against the defendants in August 2006 and the AGO asked the public to come forward if they have more information about the case.
The young Seagraves, who has been indicted three times for the same case, reportedly went off island as soon as his second indictment was dismissed in February 2006.
He was first charged with his uncle Arthur and one Vern Agualo in 1996, but the prosecution did not move forward due to insufficient evidence.
In 2003, he was arrested and brought back from California after the case was revived against him. .
The murder case was scheduled for trial in March last year but the AGO asked for dismissal of the case after receiving more information that would help in the prosecution of the case. The AGO re-indicted Seagraves along with his uncle and Leon Guerrero.
