[quote=The Chicago Tribune]Miguel Renteria broke a knife in the chest of his 18-year-old daughter during a struggle in his Skokie apartment this week, then pushed his elbow into her throat until she stopped moving, a prosecutor told a judge Thursday. Renteria's crying 2-year-old granddaughter hit him with a toy, and Renteria stabbed the toddler 10 times in the abdomen with another knife, according to Cook County Assistant State's Atty. Diann Sheridan. "While the knife was in her little heart, he made the sign of the cross," Sheridan told Circuit Court Judge Lauren Gottainer Edidin, describing "the horror he inflicted on members of his family." Gottainer Edidin denied bail for Renteria, 39, during a brief hearing at the Skokie courthouse Thursday afternoon. He has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder. Prosecutors offered no motive for the slayings of Cynthia Renteria and her daughter, Jeiloni Renteria, at Miguel Renteria's home in the 4600 block of Main Street shortly before 1 p.m. on Wednesday. But Miguel Renteria's father described a troubled man in an interview with the Tribune hours before the charges were announced. "My son Miguel is sick. I don't know if his sickness is causing these things," Octavio Renteria said. "He didn't want to be with people. If there was a family gathering, he would hang out alone." Octavio Renteria said his son has suffered from mental illness for at least 10 years, and it has caused him to act aggressively and erratically. Despite seeing several doctors, his son has been arrested several times over the years, the elder Renteria said. Cook County court records show Miguel Renteria was sentenced to five years in prison for aggravated assault in 1993. Sheridan also noted in court that he had been on probation for unlawful use of a weapon in 1991 and 1992. "He would get into accidents and sometimes just leave the car wherever," the father said. "One time he went to Cook County Jail, and another time he got into an accident at the airport. You knew he wasn't doing well." Now the family is trying to cope with the horror described in court by prosecutors. "I don't feel bad for my son as much as I do for those poor creatures who had nothing to do with this," Octavio Renteria said of his granddaughter and great-granddaughter. "The girls had no blame for what happened." Miguel Renteria grew up on the North Side of Chicago and worked as a pizza delivery driver, his father said. In court Thursday, Sheridan said that Miguel Renteria had called his daughter earlier Wednesday, saying he had signed her up for a health club membership and would pick her up at her home in Chicago. But first, he picked up a knife and put it by a lamp in his living room, Sheridan said. He drove into Chicago and picked up his daughter and Jeiloni and returned home, Sheridan said. When they got inside, the child began playing with toys as Renteria picked up the knife and stabbed his daughter in the chest, Sheridan said. The knife broke, and the two struggled and fell to the floor, according to the prosecutor. Renteria then pushed his elbow into his daughter's throat until she stopped moving, Sheridan said. The 2-year-old was screaming and crying and hit Renteria with one of her toys, Sheridan said. That's when he got a second knife and stabbed his granddaughter, the prosecutor said. Miguel Renteria called 911, authorities said. Cynthia Renteria died of strangulation and a stab wound to the chest, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office. Her child died of stab wounds. His face scratched, Renteria showed no emotion as he stood in court while Sheridan recounted the details of the crime. Surrounded by deputies, he calmly answered, "Yes," when asked if his name was Miguel Renteria. Carlos Sadovi is a Tribune reporter. Brian L. Cox is a freelance reporter.

Oh fuck. I can't fucking believe. I hope the want to cause him as much pain as non-humanly possible is okay with everyone else because hnnngg
I don't see how any one could possibly ever hurt their own kid, and especially a 2 year old granddaughter.
:(
I fucking hate this world.
jesus. fuck.

Can you just imagine how the great-grandfather feels? First off, his son is a psycho. Second, both his grand daughter and great grand daughter have been murdered. I can't imagine how he'll cope with that.
Oh for fucks sake [B]WHY?![/B]
Jesus christ this is depressing. Here's a video to balance out the depression. Because seriously, what the fucking hell. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTxW3GWZ5hI[/media]
He had no reason to do it either. What was the [I]point[/I] of killing his own daughter and granddaughter? That is what I will never understand about such murderers. At any rate, I hope that he suffers in jail. He's earned it.
I chewed through a keyboard already due to hardware-related frustration. Here goes Number 2
Why would you do that? Unless he's insane or god told him to.
That's okay... I didn't feel like being happy today. ;~;
I wish that I could unread this, this is just terrible.
Day status: Ruined beyond repair.
I had to stop reading after the first few lines...

If I had a kid that killed someone to defend someone elses life, it'd be tolerable, but this is completely different.
wow what the fuck why hope that cunt gets raped in jail
Fucking terrible, just the fact to know that people like this exist and shit like this happen a lot but are not in the media. 3 days ago in holland they discoverd, ah fuck that not going to tell this is already beyond sad
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;33014538]He was probably senile[/QUOTE] At 39? Hell, he's reportedly been mentally ill for 10 years. If I go senile at 29, someone please just shoot me.
Oh my god, this is the first news story that legitimately affected me emotionally. I feel like shit now.

Bah, it's easy to say after it happened, but they had 10 years to figure out he needed more than help. Guess what? He's going to join his fellow mentally ill killers now.
Poor creatures, why do you call the deceased that? Anyway, my mental images, scarring me....
A prime example of a person not fit for having children.
