CHANDLER, Ariz. - An 18-year-old high school student caught with his 48-year-old math teacher in her bedroom was stabbed to death by her boyfriend, who was himself a former student of hers, police said Tuesday.


Chandler police said Sixto Balbuena, 20, told them he never meant to kill Samuel Valdivia. He allegedly told police "the blade went in like going into butter" and that he just wanted to show Valdivia how much he hurt him by sleeping with Tamara Hofmann.


Balbuena, a navy sailor on leave from California, was arrested on a charge of second-degree murder after police found him covered in blood and told them about the killing. He was in jail Tuesday and did not have a lawyer.


Balbuena found his girlfriend naked and Valdivia in his boxer shorts in the woman's bedroom around 2:40 a.m. Friday, according to police reports and court documents.


Balbuena told police that Valdivia apologized to him before Balbuena began kicking, punching and throwing things at him, according to a police probable cause statement.


Police said Balbuena told them he "wanted to teach the victim a lesson," and stabbed him in the lower side with a kitchen knife, according to the court document. Valdivia later died at a hospital.


He also threw Hofmann to the floor jumped on top of her and demanded to know how long she had been cheating on him, according to the document.


Police said Hofmann taught Valdivia math at El Dorado High School in Chandler and was also Balbuena's teacher when he attended Marcos de Niza High School in Tempe.


A call to both schools was not immediately returned Tuesday. Hofmann's phone number is unlisted.


Balbuena is the one who called 911. He told officers he felt remorse for stabbing Valdivia after seeing him lying on the floor struggling to breathe, police said. "

"An 18-year-old high school student caught with his 48-year-old math teacher in her bedroom was stabbed to death by her boyfriend, who was himself a former student of hers, police said Tuesday."

okay so the 18 year old is a guy, the killer is a guy, and the teacher is a girl.
he is definitely gay.

No, it's 2 students and a teacher.

Both students are male, the teacher is female obviously.

Killer found his "girlfriend" aka teacher, naked with another guy aka the other student.
So Killer kills the guy that his "girlfriend" has been sleeping with to teach him a lesson.

What? This story is so messed up and confusing.

most confusing article I've read in a long time.

wtf.. only in the states..

It's not confusing. You're just fixated on that one sentence.
Look at it from the angle that Balbuena sees this guy screwing with his gf. It hurts him because he has feelings for her, and he shared his pain by shanking Valdivia

Wow talk about bad journalism, guess the Associated Press is hiring just about anyone to write articles now. That's like the first basic no-no's of writing and grammar; the over usage of pronouns.

I think the writer is gay too, he got too depressed/excited to write that article.

wtf

How in the hell is this confusing for you morons.
Teacher is female, the two students are male. Both slept with said teacher. 1st guy walks in on his lover .. which is the fucking teacher and stabs the other man who was sleeping with her. It's fucking simple. Retards.

Is she worth spending the rest of your life in prison? by looking at picture, I say Hell the Fuck no.. haha

too many pronouns..and calling the teacher the girlfriend threw many of us off.

No. Only the people who can't add 1 + 1.

Oh snap. Looks like 2 boys wanted to dip into the same vanilla.

The question now is how many other male highschool students has this teacher slept with?

The names r so confusing, I can't follow who's who.

Okay seriously, i don't know if you guys are on mushrooms or not, but I understood it as clear as day. I just read the OP's post once, and this is how i interpret:

Teacher has a Boyfriend
The Boyfriend runs into the Teacher fucking one of her students
The Boyfriend Kills the student to 'teach him a lesson'
