Miguel Matias is escorted out of the 44th Precinct after he turned himself in for the murder of his daughter.

A Bronx man who strangled his pregnant 14-year-old daughter and threw her naked body in a boiler last year was also the father of her unborn child, according to prosecutors.

Miguel Matias, 36, appeared in Bronx Supreme Court Tuesday as prosecutors consolidated the two indictments against him - an earlier one for his daughter's murder on Feb. 16, 2008, and the newest one for second-degree rape and incest.

DNA taken from Matias matches a sample taken from the fetus carried by his daughter, Anna, said Steven Reed, spokesman for Bronx District Attorney Robert Johnson.

Matias confessed to the murder, saying he was driven to strangle Anna with an electrical cord when he caught her writing "sex things" on her computer, police said.

1. It's situations like this...

That make me want to rethink my stance on the death penalty.

This idiot is fucking subhuman.

2. Holy shit...

What a dumbass son of a bitch.

Caught her writing "sex things" ---- oy vey.

13. Yeah... being molested can sometimes make you promiscuous...

funny how a parent showing love only with sex will sometimes make an adolescent think that seeking sex is the way to find love.

Christ... my heart breaks. :cry:

10. Writing "sex things" like "my father raped me, what should I do?"

I'm personally not anti-death penalty when there's physical evidence, so...

5. He should be strangled with a cord..

And tossed in a boilier....

6. Seems fair.

But too quick. He had 14 years to torture her.

9. Maybe he should be thrown in

the boiler first and then choked with a cord? I'm brainstorming here.

7. I love the

Thomas Jefferson quote.

My favorite is: "We in America do not have government by the majority. We have government by the majority who participate."
