Student killed in teacher love triangle

Police say the boyfriend of a 48-year-old math teacher killed a high school student after he caught them in her bedroom having an affair.

Officers said on Tuesday that 20-year-old Sixto Balbuena found his girlfriend naked in her bedroom with 18-year-old student, Samuel Valdivia, who was wearing only boxer shorts early Friday.

Balbuena told police he kicked and punched Valdivia "to teach the victim a lesson", and then stabbed him in the side with a kitchen knife. Valdivia died at the hospital.

Balbuena was arrested on a second-degree murder charge.

He did not yet have a lawyer to speak for him.
