BOISE — A college professor who alternately referred to himself as a “psychopathic k
iller” and “the beast” committed suicide after killing 
a graduate student he had recently dated, police said in newly revealed court documents.
Meanwhile, Katy Benoit’s family said Wednesday that the psychology student had become increasingly alarmed about Ernesto A. Bustamante’s behavior and had taken steps to get away from the man who police say eventually killed her.
