“I killed my daughter. The police arrived at their home in the Richmond Hill neighbourhood of Queens and found the child, Fabiana Cabello, unconscious. The five-year-old was taken to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.
That’s what Francis Cabello told the police on a call on the evening of October 14. Now her father, Kuldeep Singh, is trying to raise $18,000 for her funeral.
Cabello was arrested on a murder charge on Thursday. The police received an unusual 911 call from a woman reporting an assault at her address, according to a report by The New York Times . The caller, identified as 32-year-old Francis Cabello, told police, “I killed my daughter.
What happened inside the Cabello house before the call was made to the police remains unclear.
She was attentive. “The family is distraught. He recalled the ways she looked after his mother, her great-grandmother, taking her hand and helping her around the apartment when her knees hurt.
Because she’s a mom that was protective over her kid, “I wouldn’t say that she would be capable of doing damage to the child.
I never would have thought she would have done something like this,” he said. Singh said Fabiana had been a light in his family and their home. Talking about young Cabello’s friendly nature, Singh said, the family had to remind her not to talk to strangers. Once, during a doctor’s appointment, she hugged all the nurses she could see, he said.
She was taken to the nearby hospital in critical condition and was later pronounced dead. Officers arrived at Cabello’s house at 6:55 pm and found the girl unresponsive and bleeding from her nose.
