BOSTON (WHDH) - The trial of a man accused of murdering a pair of engaged doctors inside their upscale South Boston condo entered its eighth day Thursday as jurors heard a shocking police recording from a hospital bed interview in which he told investigators that he was having an affair with Lina Bolanos, Richard Fields’ fiancee.
During part of an hour-and-a-half interview that was played in court, Bampumim Teixeira, 33, of Chelsea, claimed he was kissing Bolanos inside her 11th-floor apartment at the Macallen Building on the night of May 5, 2017, when Fields unexpectedly walked in on them.
On the recording, Teixeira told police that he had been with Bolanos “a bunch of times” but she had instructed him not to text, call, or email her.
Teixeira stated that Bolanos asked him to sneak into the building on Dorchester Avenue and “to be discreet.” He explained that he entered the building through a backdoor in the parking garage.
During the interview, Teixeira told an investigator that everything turned to “hell” when Fields saw him making out with Bolanos. He also stated that he used to work at the building and that he would visit Bolanos when Fields went out of town.
Teixeira claimed that Fields then grew enraged and said that he was going to kill them before stabbing Bolanos several times in the neck because he “felt betrayed.” Teixeira also said on the recording that he tried to save Bolanos.
Fields handcuffed Bolanos and stabbed her, Teixeira claimed in the interview. He also told police that “there was blood all over the place” and that he feared for his life.
When asked how Fields was killed, Teixeira claimed he bashed his head against the wall and stabbed him in act of self-defense before knocking his gun away and handcuffing him.
“I wanted to do to him, what he did to her,” Teixeira told the police.
A medical examiner that performed autopsies on the doctors’ bodies told jurors that they were tortured, beaten, bound, and brutally stabbed.
Bolanos suffered 24 sharp-force injuries around both sides of her neck and bruised from her forehead to her lower legs, according to the examiner. She was stabbed from her throat to the back of her neck.
The examiner said Field died from a single stab wound to his carotid artery.
Earlier in the trial, prosecutors showed jurors destroyed photos of Bolanos and Field that hung on a wall next to a message written in black that read, “He killed my wife.” In the interview, Teixeira stated that he had no idea who wrote it.

On Wednesday, criminalist Kathryn Hall told the court that “there was a strong odor of possible cleaning solutions” emanating from a piece of clothing that one of the doctors was wearing when they died.
When police asked Teixeira about the slippery solutions, he said Fields had been moving a lot of things in the condo. He also said that he was wearing gloves because it was cold outside.
Jurors are slated to hear the last of the interview on Friday.
