He should look after his grandchildren "too often": Grandpa massacres daughter (†30)

Vincennes (Indiana/USA) - It is unbelievable: Because she had asked him "too often" to look after her grandchildren, a 64-year-old man from the USA stabbed his own daughter to death.

Killer grandpa Fritzner Antoine will probably spend the rest of his life behind bars. A court in the US state of Indiana found it proven that the 64-year-old literally slaughtered his own daughter Sterline Antoine Joseph (†30) with a knife in 2023.

He was sentenced to a total of 60 years' imprisonment. This is reported by WTWO.

Meanwhile, public prosecutor Dirk Carnahan described the background to the gruesome act of bloodshed on Facebook. Fritzner Antoine had only recently moved from Haiti, a Caribbean country plagued by a terrible civil war , to join his daughter, who worked in human resources. He hoped to be able to spend the rest of his life in the USA.

But living together did not last long. Fritzner Antoine found it "disrespectful" that Sterline asked him to look after her two primary school-age boys from time to time. She had asked him to babysit "too often", he was later to tell the investigators.

Killer grandpa stabs his own daughter with a golden knife

On the evening of June 24, 2023, the 64-year-old became the murderer of his own daughter. According to the public prosecutor, he carefully chose a golden knife, stabbed Sterline in the head with it and massacred her. The mother of two had no chance.

Particularly horrific: little Samuel and his brother Zachary were in the house when their grandfather became the murderer of their beloved mother. They had to listen to her desperate screams.

The man was arrested at the scene of the crime. During police questioning, he initially stated that he only wanted to "chastise" his daughter for her "disrespectful behavior". When the officers told him that his daughter had succumbed to her serious injuries and that he would now face murder charges, he said: "Yes, I agree."

Sterline Antoine Joseph leaves behind her two boys, her husband Horiol - to whom she was married for eleven years - and her heartbroken mother Venise.
