Both tabloids detail the "deadly love triangle" where one man killed another over Catalina Hernandez. The Daily News spoke to the 24-year-old (with dramatic photo) reports that "Michael Lebron walked from his shelter to her Bedford-Stuyvesant apartment at 10:30 p.m. Saturday and screamed for her on-again, off-again boyfriend to show himself," yelling, "I ain't no p---y I'm going to kill you; we're going to finish this tonight." And Pedro Marquez, 46, who has a two-month old with Hernandez, yelled back, "Let's see who's going to die tonight!" and emerged from the building with kitchen knife, stabbing Lebron numerous times. Hernandez told the Post that Marquez was disappointing—"We were arguing, and he wasn't working, and I was doing everything alone"—while Lebron, who was 40, "knew how to treat a woman. He wasn't trying to have sex all the time. He just showed me attention emotionally." (But it turns out that Lebron had a fiancee, who visited her yesterday.) Marquez, who was charged with murder, wrote in a note to Hernandez, "Please forgive me. It was not my intention to do this. I've been depressed. I feel sorry for what happened but that's life."

Yesterday morning, a 43-year-old man was found stabbed to death on Beachwood Avenue in the New Brighton section of Staten Island and now police know why: Apparently James Braddox told girlfriend Yolanda McNeil-Moody—with whom he has two teenage children— that he got another woman pregnant.

Braddox tried to drive to the hospital but crashed into a tree a block away; the knife was found across the street from their home. McNeil-Moody was charged with assault and criminal possession of a weapon—murder or manslaughter charges are pending the ME's report.

A Bronx man was arrested and charged with second-degree murder for the fatal stabbing that occurred in Queens. Last week, Michael Pecora's body was found in his Forest Hills apartment. When Pecora's family called his cellphone, a cab driver answered, saying that a passenger he took to the Bronx gave it to him, because he didn't have any money to pay. Newsday reports that the cab driver's information led police to a relative of Alexys Fermaintt, 30, who resides in East Tremont but was arrested on Thursday in Holyoke, Massachusetts and brought to Queens on Friday: "Pecora's computer was found in a separate Holyoke apartment that police said appeared to be Fermaintt's primary address, according to a detective."

Investigators tell the Daily News that the man found stabbed to death in his Queens apartment probably met his killer online. The News reports that Michael Pecora's sister had called his cell phone, only for a stranger to answer: "The man with Pecora's cell phone was a cab driver, who told the sister he was given the phone earlier in the week by a passenger who said he didn't have any money to pay the fare, sources said. The passenger gave the cab driver the phone and a watch as payment when he was dropped off in the Bronx." The sister contacted the police, who then questioned the cabbie. The cabbie recalled the fare was carrying a laptop—and Pecora's laptop was missing from his Forest Hills home—leading police to suspect the killer stole the computer to cover his tracks.

The super, from the fire escape, peered in the man's apartment and saw the body in the 6th floor apartment. An 85-year-old neighbor told WCBS 2, "I feel sick, I feel sick. He was such a nice young fellow. Clean. And you should have seen the apartment, how he fixed it, with everything new," and added to the Daily News, "He was like a son to me." The News reports that the building's fire escapes are being investigated for clues.
