A young man has pleaded not guilty to murder in the beating death of a security guard on Maui, a disturbing case of random violence.

• A 20-year-old former swimming champion was indicted for murder, burglary, and indecent exposure.
• He is accused of beating a 63-year-old security guard to death with a five-gallon water jug last Wednesday.
• The guard, Michael Dyer, was working an overnight shift at the Sands of Kahana when he was killed.
• The accused is being held without bail and is due back in court.

Outlook: The case now heads toward trial, with a public celebration of life planned for the victim next month.
