Isaiah Kalebu was today convicted of aggravated first-degree murder in the brutal rape and murder of South Park resident Teresa Butz in July of 2009, also of the attempted murder of Jen Hudson, Butz's partner, of rape and burglary.

Kalebu will most likely be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. He was not in the courtroom when the verdict was read.

Kalebu entered the home of Teresa Butz and Ms. Hudson in the South Park neighborhood, raping and stabbing them during a two-hour attack. Hudson identified him and his DNA was found at the crime scene.

He is also suspected in an arson that killed his aunt and one of her tenants in Pierce County, but has not been charged due to a lack of forensic evidence.
