‘Humiliated’ dad stabbed daughter to death with gold knife for ‘asking him to watch her children too often’

When police told Antoine that he was being placed under arrest for killing his daughter, he reportedly responded, “Yes, I agree.”

“The man said he selected a gold knife and stabbed her in the head or wherever else he could,” prosecutors wrote in the release.

The 60-year sentence handed down by Gilmore aligned with the duration recommended by prosecutors. The judge also addressed the court prior to giving Antoine a de facto life sentence.

“Members of the victim’s family were here today. 60 years or 600 years doesn’t change their lives,” she said. “Seeing the woman’s husband, her mother and other family members today helped make it clear what the limits of our system are. We try every single day to make a difference, but sometimes there really isn’t any justice or closure. All that we can do is keep trying to do what is right, keep trying to make a difference, and be willing to believe that sometimes what we do matters — even when it doesn’t seem to.”

Antoine and his daughter had both recently moved to Vincennes, Indiana, from Haiti when he killed her, according to WTWO.
