A 39-year-old man has been charged with using a kitchen knife to viciously stab his ex-girlfriend and her two children at a South Miami-Dade home. He killed the mother and son and injured the daughter before wounding himself.
Maria Plasencia, 42, and her 19-year-old son Dayron Pastrana, died on the scene after the Jan. 19 attack, according to Miami-Dade police.
Plasencia's daughter, Cynthia Pastrana, was hurt but survived, police said. Two days later, on Friday, she turned 14.
Tomas Sicilia-Perez, 39, also survived and was charged with two counts of second-degree murder and one count of attempted second-degree murder. The attack happened shortly after 7 p.m. at 13315 SW 58th Ter., according to an arrest affidavit released Wednesday.
Sicilia-Perez went to Pastrana's home. At first, the pair had a civil conversation, the affidavit said. But it grew heated.
Sicilia-Perez grabbed a knife from the kitchen and stabbed Plasencia multiple times, the affidavit said. When the son and daughter ran to help their mother, Sicilia-Perez stabbed them, too, before stabbing himself in the chest.
