Nikki Secondino, Instagram Trans Model, Faces Charges for Killing Father, Younger Sister

Nikki Secondino, infamous for being an Instagram trans model, was charged with killing her father and stabbing her younger sister.

At first, it was believed that an incident involving a home break-in in Brooklyn, New York, on December 29, 2022, caused the death of Carlo Secondino, 69, and injured two of his daughters, Nikki Secondino, 22, and Liana Secondino, 19.

Nikki called the police to report the intruders and said they had broken into the family home and attacked her father and sister. Later, she changed her story.

The model did not know that when the responders tried to give medical aid to her wounded sister, Liana, she told the police that her sister stabbed her and immediately asked the police about her dad.

Upon further investigation, it was determined that Nikki went on a stabbing rampage over a laptop, during which she fatally murdered her father and badly injured her younger sister.

According to News Break, after confessing to the police that she had killed her father and attempted to kill her sister, the Instagram trans model was seen smiling in the images taken of her after her detention.

Nikki added that if she had the opportunity, she would have terminated the life of the neighbor who had called 911.

After her arrest by Brooklyn investigators, the alleged murderer reportedly made a terrifying confession to the authorities, as stated in a criminal complaint filed earlier in connection with the case.

Nikki admitted to the authorities that she had hit her father in the head with a hammer when she walked out of her bedroom and found him dozing off on the couch.

The New York Post reported that she also mentioned that she had located her favorite knife made of German steel and had used it to stab him numerous times. When her younger sister saw her stabbing their father, she immediately attempted to stop her older sibling.

Liana got stabbed in the stomach, head, and back for that. In her confession, she also stated that she wanted them both dead.

Nikki Secondino's Cover Up

As per NBC, at first, the police believed that two robbers had broken into the family's home on 17th Avenue near 82nd Street early in the morning, demanded money from a safe, and then stabbed to death the 61-year-old father and slashed his two daughters.

However, further investigation revealed that a single individual committed the crime. The authorities also discovered that there was no safe in the residence.

Liana was in severe condition when she arrived at Maimonides Hospital, while Nikki was transported to NYU Langone Hospital. She was later transferred to the 62nd Precinct of the New York Police Department.

The investigators suspected that she had fabricated the story about a break-in at the family's house in Bensonhurst to hide her tracks and conceal the fact that she committed the crime.
