A gang banger fatally stabbed his girlfriend and slipped away from the scene — then tried to throw cops off his trail by reporting the killing himself, according to police and the victim’s family.
Alicia Arnone, 35, was found in a pool of blood at the top of a staircase by her 13-year-old daughter, who had heard her mother’s screams, and the sound of someone leaving their home, Arnone’s family told The Post.
Cops
quickly arrested the girl’s father, Andre Daniels, in her March 26 killing.
Daniels, who has a lengthy rap sheet, and Arnone dated on-and-off for 14 years, and he had a history of assaulting her, according to her family and reports.
When the cops arrived at the crime scene at the first-floor apartment on Grand Avenue, they found Arnone’s daughter along with the woman’s new boyfriend, Nile Diakos, 35, who had called police at 9:59 a.m. to report a stabbing, authorities said.
Both Diakos and the girl told police that Daniels, who had had restraining orders issued against him in the past because of abusive incidents involving Alicia, was the murderer, according to court papers
cited by Daily Voice.
In a chilling twist, police now believe that Diakos stabbed Arnone, slipped out of the house and circled back after calling police to report the murder. Charges against Daniels in the case have been dropped, and he was released from custody Wednesday.
