A father who ended up smothering his own daughter to death is now having his prison sentence reduced.

The terrifying tragedy has some people in a state of an absolute whirlwind as they cannot even begin to understand why any court of law would enjoin such behavior.

The heartless suspect was identified as Ricardo Krause who was sentenced to 24 years in jail for smothering his baby girl to death. She was four and described as the most loving angel.

But he did not feel any remorse for the behavior and continued until he was sure that she was dead. As you can imagine, the news has sparked major outrage among loved ones who felt the angel did not do anything to deserve this.

Sources have gone on to speak about how the ordeal was just disappointing and to see a verdict of this kind come forward made so many people upset.

Remember, his sentence went from 24 years to just 18 months. And that was right after an appeal was made by the suspect. He is believed to have used a plastic bag to smother her. And it was beyond heartbreaking for some to witness this.

The terrifying incident has left some people at a complete standstill. Locals from Sao Paulo in Brazil mentioned how such incidents can cause others to follow in his footsteps as the punishment for murder was close to nothing.

Others have expressed anger at the country’s judicial system for failing to take notice. Whatever the case may be, one thing is for sure. People are not happy.

The retrial comprised of several judges who are believed to have taken the unanimous decision that it was a mistake by the father and no parent would intentionally kill their child like he ended up doing.
