Here is the official update from King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office Daily Docket:

Update: Isaiah Kalebu, competency hearing re-scheduled--This afternoon's competency hearing for Isaiah Kalebu (09-1-04992-7 Aggravated Murder First Degree, Attempted Murder First Degree, Rape First Degree and Burglary First Degree) was re-scheduled to December 7 before King County Superior Court Judge Michael Hayden at the King County Courthouse, courtroom E-863. Testimony in the three-day hearing will start tomorrow at 9 a.m. The court will determine whether Kalebu is competent to stand trial.

A West Seattle Herald story from August of 2009 said, “It's suspected that (Kalebu) may have a form of undiagnosed bi-polar disorder and manic depression, though that has not yet been determined. It is unknown whether that played a role in the July 19 assault and murder.

The man suspected of killing 39-year-old Teresa Butz, Isaiah Kalebu, 23, has entered a plea of not guilty in King County Superior Court on charges aggravated murder, first-degree attempted murder, first-degree rape and first-degree burglary.

He remains in King County Jail on $10 million bail.

Kalebu is accused of entering the house of Butz and her 36-year-old partner through an open window at a home in the South Park neighborhood on July 19. The other woman was seriously injured but is recovering.”
