VISTA — An Oceanside man who killed his wife in 2008 over an apparent love triangle was sentenced in Vista Superior Court Thursday to 20 years in prison.
Jose Luis Orozco, 28, pleaded guilty to manslaughter and several other charges in the stabbing death of Beatrice Orozco, 24.
Authorities said the woman had apparently been having an affair with another man and had spoken to him on the phone hours before the June 24, 2008, slaying.
The boyfriend showed up at the home on Alabar Way about 1 a.m. and called 911 to report an assault in progress, Oceanside police said.
Officers who entered through a sliding-glass door found her body on the kitchen floor. She had been stabbed 56 times with various weapons, including knives and a cleaver, said Deputy District Attorney Marnie McGee.
Jose Orozco was found injured near his wife. Their 3-year-old son was also nearby, unharmed, police said.
