An evil father has confessed to murdering his newborn baby after he raped her when they were home alone together – and he said he knew she could die.

Hugo Ferreira, 37, from Welverdiend, South Africa, brutally killed his daughter who was just one week old. The sicko said he wanted to “give her something to cry about”. He later threatened to kill the baby’s mother.

The Pretoria High Court heard that the baby’s mother, Maureen Brand, had left to run some errands when Ferreira committed the heinous act. When she returned home on June 8 2023 she found her baby had suffered severe injuries.

The innocent baby was rushed to hospital but died of her injuries after her evil father “pushed her head against” a surface.

He said he was “unhappy” that he had been left with the baby.

The baby’s mother had reportedly told Ferreira she’d be back in five minutes after she had left to sell clothes and purchase some nappies.

But Ferreira became angry when she took longer as his daughter’s nappy needed changing.

Ferreira admitted: “I grabbed the baby hard and in the process, I pushed her head against the surface on which I was working.

“I accept that it was a cruel and gruesome attack, especially on such a young baby. The action was clearly illegal and I did it with intent.”

Ferreira said he violently raped her after becoming increasingly frustrated by her cries, news24 reported.

The paedo said he tried to hide his daughter once her mum had returned home.

He said: “When her mother returned, I realised she would see that something was wrong.

“I kept the baby away from her until later in the day. I did this because I realised the baby was seriously injured.”

He admitted he knew the baby could die and that what he had done was incomprehensible, but he wasn’t ready to stop the attack.

The sicko said he had taken methamphetamine but that it had not influenced his actions.

He is set to be sentenced next week.
