(CBS) Larry Dunn Jr. made a chilling confession to cops last week after allegedly stabbing his girlfriend for telling him she was HIV-positive, WFAA-TV reported.

"She killed me, so I killed her."

Dunn, a 36-year-old Texas man, told police that he snapped during a visit to the Dallas apartment of his new girlfriend, 28-year-old Cicely Bolden, on Thursday afternoon, according to WFAA.

Bolden apparently revealed her HIV status to Dunn after the couple had sex.

Furious, Dunn grabbed a knife from the kitchen and stabbed Bolden to death.

Bolden's son and daughter, ages 7 and 8, found their mother's body at around 3:30 p.m. when they came home from school, neighbor Latoya Arnett said told the TV station.

"They came out crying. I ran out to see what was wrong with them. They were saying, "Something's wrong with mama!"

According to a detectives, Dunn burned his clothes and the knife he used to stab Bolden and tossed them in a dumpster at a Waffle House restaurant. Cops were able to retrieve the charred murder weapon.

Bolden's two children are in custody of the boy's father, Jeff Busby, who said she contracted HIV within the past two years.

Dunn is being held on $500,000 bond on a murder charge.

by BeReal97 September 10, 2012 7:14 PM EDT: This guy committed the crime of murder, period. I agree that the young lady should have told her partner, especially since she was HIV positive and engaged in UNPROTECTED SEX. Both of them should have been more responsible, the guy needed to wear a condom and the female should have educated her partner(s) and let him (them) make the choice!! I pray that her children-who discovered their mom's body, grow up without the damage that this traumatic incident can cause, and I pray for both victims' families. In reality, both the murdered and murderer are victims. I don't know what life is like when you're HIV positive but I can imagine how hard it is to tell someone. Especially when we, African American's choose to tune out of the discussion of SEX and STD's within our community. Be responsible, be safe, be your own advocate. Get check, talk and learn and you can avoid this unfortunate outcome. You are your best advocate!; Reply to this comment
