US man, 34, allegedly killed wife's lover after finding them in bed with his 2 children - Mothership

An American man in California allegedly killed his wife's lover after he found the lover clothed only in underwear in bed alongside his wife and two young children.

34-year-old Ismael Pinedalopez purportedly stabbed Nicholas Garcia, 28, repeatedly with a pocketknife in the bedroom of Pinedalopez's Anaheim home on Oct. 24.

Garcia died from his injuries at the scene while Pinedalopez's wife and children were unharmed.

According to the New York Post, prosecutors said Pinedalopez's children, a two-year-old daughter and four-year-old son, were in the bed during the attack.

Pinedalopez has been charged with one felony count of murder and one felony enhancement of personal use of a weapon.

He faces a maximum sentence of 26 years to life if convicted on all counts and was scheduled to appear in a California court on Oct. 27.

The Orange County District Attorney's Office's press statement added that Anaheim police received a call regarding a stabbing at the home and found a bloodied Pinedalopez.

Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer said: "Violence is never the answer, and it is truly heartbreaking that these young children had to witness their father commit such a horrific act of brutality in their own home."
