After his sergeant blew the lock off the door with a shotgun, "Maui Wowy" as he is known, raced into the house, screaming with fury. In a cool, dim room, he found his attacker - a 19-year old with a pubescent mustache, in a red and black Real Madrid tracksuit - sitting on a couch between two older women. As the women began to scream, Maui picked up the young man and hurled him to the floor, yelling obscenities and threats...
