Father pleads guilty to murdering his daughter after he impregnated her




A father pleaded guilty Friday to strangling his 14-year-old daughter, who was 12 weeks pregnant with his child, then stuffing her body into his apartment building's boiler and partially burning it.

Miguel Matias told investigators he strangled his daughter Ana with an electrical cord after he found her writing "sex things" on a computer in February 2008.

It was more than a year later, in April, when additional charges of sexual assault were filed after DNA tests uncovered he had impregnated her.

Matias, 35, initially pleaded not guilty and underwent a psychiatric evaluation after he tried to hang himself in prison. He was found fit to stand trial, but his attorney, Roy Schwartz, had asked for additional testing.

After the plea deal to second-degree murder, he faces the faces the maximum 25 years to life in prison, but could have gotten 50 years to life had the case gone to trial, Schwartz said.

I hope he dies a slow and miserable death in jail....I will pray for it tonight. May she rest in peace, her and the unborn baby.
