HONOLULU -- The landlord of a Kalihi building that collapsed on Sunday claimed the homeless who live there caused the building to crumble.

KITV spoke with co-owner Daniel Cunningham and asked him about accusations of him conducting medical experiments on the residents.

The Gulick Avenue apartment home in Kalihi that collapsed Sunday is now cordoned off.

Cunningham said he was going to take the illegal scaffolding down.

"I unfortunately did not get it down before someone did that to me," Cunningham said.

Cunningham claimed the residents caused it to fall. However, one tenant said he saw Cunningham on the roof of the makeshift structure before the collapse.

The story has gotten even stranger. Some tenants claimed they were getting injections because they feared eviction. Richard Sumiye said he went blind after Cunningham injected a solution around his eyes with a needle.

Cunningham, who lost his chiropractor's license and wears socks on his hands, said he is helping extend lives with stem cell therapy.

"It sounds like you don't want to answer my question about what treatment you are giving to these people," KITV reporter Mahealani Richardson told Cunningham.

"I don't think it's intelligent for me to do that because it's a bad law," he said.

He said that aliens created the law.

"I think you work for them. The media works for them and they own the money and they are eating people down below," Cunningham said.

The landlord said he is trying to help the homeless and that he will clean up the mess.
