NYC Father Admits Killing Daughter, 14, Found in Boiler Pregnant With His Child

Associated Press
Published | Updated

NEW YORK – A New York City father has pleaded guilty to murdering the 14-year-old daughter who was pregnant with his child and stuffing her body in a boiler.

Miguel Matias pleaded guilty Friday to second-degree murder in a Bronx court. He faces 25 years to life in prison.

Ana Matias was found stuffed in the boiler in her father's apartment building in February after he called police dispatchers to report what he had done.

Initially, Matias told police he strangled the girl because she was typing "sex things" on her computer.

An investigation revealed the girl was 12 weeks pregnant with her father's child.
