The woman in Brooklyn claims self -defense in the stabbed of the death of the “warlike” father

The woman, who stabbed her father in front of her house in Brooklyn, claims that she had acted self -titled after the warriest drunk man threw her against her, as the public prosecutor unveiled on Thursday.

The 20 -year -old Josephine Santiago was captured for murder and criminal possession of a weapon during her indictment in front of the criminal court in Brooklyn without deposit.

She is accused of repeatedly stabbing her father Jose Acevedo (41) in the chest and back during a violent confrontation.

The public prosecutor said that Santiago and Acevedo had been in a dispute at 11 p.m.

When he refused, the fight became fatal.

In a video declaration that Santiago supposedly made the police after her arrest, she admitted that Acevedo was drunk, and informed the police officers that, according to the prosecutor, her father would be “warlike” when he drinks.

Santiago claimed that Acevedo insulted her, she told him that he should go, he hit her and then started to stab.

A responding officer found Santiago over her father's bloody body, said the prosecutors. She allegedly admitted to the officer that she stabbed her father and pointed to the knife that she used.

While there is video evidence that Santiago holds a knife in front of the stitch, the moment of the attack was not captured in front of the camera because it took place in the anteroom of the building, the prosecutors said. Witnesses subsequently arrived at the scene, but did not see that the stabbing is suffocating itself.

“There are some mitigating facts here that I ask to take into account the court,” said Santiago's lawyer in their indictment. “I think, judge that there is at least one surface level on the surface.”

Acevedo, who had an extensive criminal register and lived in Harlem, was brought to the Brookdale University Hospital, where he died.

Santiago, an apprentice at a hairdressing school, will be due again on March 10th.
