King County Judge Michael Hayden will resume jury selection in the aggravated murder trial of Isaiah Kalebu on Monday, May 23, according to prosecutors.

Kalebu is accused of first degree aggravated murder, first degree attempted murder, first degree rape and first degree burglary stemming from a brutal attack in West Seattle’s South Park community in July 2009. Kalebu allegedly entered the home of 39-year-old Teresa Butz and her 36-year-old partner through an open window armed with a knife and proceeded to sexually and physically assault both women. Butz died from her injuries.

Kalebu faces a life sentence without the possibility of release or parole if convicted.

Judge Hayden determined in January that Kalebu was competent to stand trial, although King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg is not seeking the death penalty due to his history of mental illness.

An official date for his trial to begin has not been released by prosecutors at this time.
