Police arrested Marvin Ortiz Montecinos, 29, and charged him with two counts of first-degree murder. His bail is set at $10 million, according to KTVU-TV.
Investigators say that Ortiz Montecinos stabbed his girlfriend, Victoria Aparicio Cruz, more than 20 times, and then turned his knife on Yaneth Gomez Hernandez, stabbing her more than 40 times when she tried to stop him from attacking Cruz.
The victims lived in the same apartment, police revealed.
