Father accidentally kills 14-year-old daughter during play fight as she runs into knife

A father has accidentally killed his 14-year-old daughter during a play fight after she ran into a knife that was left on a chopping board.

This tragic incident was shared in a viral video on TikTok, where it was revealed that the father and daughter were playfully sparring when she unintentionally collided with the sharp knife, causing a fatal stab wound.

Despite the mother insisting she has evidence proving he neither killed nor intended to harm their daughter, a jury found him guilty of murder and sentenced him to life imprisonment.

As the post gained traction online, concerned individuals flooded the comment section with their thoughts on the heartbreaking case.
