He Kills 2-Year-Old Daughter He Hasn't Seen for 6 Months Then Attempts Suicide: 37-Year-Old Ivorian Arrested

Cremona. He killed his two-year-old daughter with a stab wound to the abdomen, then attempted suicide with the same knife: Jacob Kouao Danho, the 37-year-old Ivorian who attempted suicide after the murder, has been arrested and charged with murder. The tragedy unfolded in the Cremona home where he lived alone after his wife decided to leave him last January. But the 37-year-old couldn't accept the separation from his wife, who had left him last January, taking their two-year-old daughter, Gloria, with her. Nor could he accept not being able to see his daughter for six months. Yesterday morning, social services brought her home. And out of revenge, Kouao Jacob Danho, a 37-year-old Ivorian laborer, immediately stabbed his daughter to death. Then, with the same 30-centimeter-long kitchen knife, later found in the bedroom, he attempted suicide, plunging the blade into his stomach, wounding himself four times.
The man underwent delicate surgery during the night but his condition is serious, he is now under guard in the hospital. Investigators are reconstructing the dynamics of the incident. There were no other people in the house where the child and her father were found. The tragedy occurred in the bedroom of the small apartment on the second floor in via Massarotti, number 4, which in the past was the site of the mosque and the Koranic school in the center of Cremona. 
The little girl's mother, in shock, has not yet been questioned and investigators are waiting to hear from her. The Carabinieri arrived on the scene called by the 118 staff, who could do nothing for the little girl, already dead when the doctors arrived, while they helped the man, who had stabbed himself in the abdomen in an attempt to commit suicide, and took him to the Maggiore hospital in Cremona. Unicef ​​Italy intervened in the case with a note, expressing "great sorrow for the death of the little girl, which represents only the latest painful episode that affects childhood". "Just a few days ago - says Francesco Samengo, president of Unicef ​​Italy - I launched an appeal recalling how every day we witness dramatic episodes that affect our children: sons injured or killed by their parents, girls victims of violence, even within schools, discrimination in school cafeterias and increasing phenomena of bullying. Italy, now more than ever, must be the terrain on which we will increasingly commit ourselves as Unicef”.
