Daughter of 61-year-old man stabbed to death in Brooklyn arrested, charged with murder
NEW YORK - The NYPD says the 22-year-old daughter of a 61-year-old man who was stabbed to death inside a home in Brooklyn on Thursday has been arrested and charged with murder.
SkyFOX was over 17th Avenue in Bensonhurst where a number of police vehicles had responded after a 9-1-1 call about an assault inside a home just before 6 a.m.
According to the NYPD, when officers arrived, they found three people with stab wounds.
The first victim, a 61-year-old man identified as Carlo Secondino, was found stabbed to death inside the house.
Two women were also found with knife injuries, the police said. His 19-year-old daughter was found with stab wounds about her body and rushed to Maimonides Medical Center, where she is listed in critical condition.
Her 22-year-old sister, identified as Nikki Secondino, was found with slash wounds to her hands and was taken to NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn in stable condition.
Police announced later Thursday evening that Nikki Secondino was arrested and has been charged with murder, attempted murder, and criminal possession of a weapon.
Neighbors told FOX 5 NY that they often heard fighting coming from the family's home, usually revolving around money.
"I heard the bodies being slammed around like they were wrestling. Sometimes, I used to hear so much slamming I felt like she was going to come through my wall," said the neighbor, who did not want to be named for her own safety.
