Woman who stabbed dad 69 TIMES then wrote name in blood smiled at family in court as she was sentenced

A FLORIDA woman grinned at her family while she was sentenced to 30 years behind bars for brutally killing her dad.

Amber Maltese, 37, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder after stabbing her father Alfred Megathlin 69 times. The woman was pictured waving and smiling to her family members while sentencing took place in the Brevard County court.

Police said the smirking murderer used a knife, an arrow and a picture frame to carry out the chilling attack on 60-year-old Alfred, before leaving her own signature in a bloody hand print on the wall.

The heinous killing took place in February 2015 at her father’s Melbourne condo.

Maltese, who was receiving mental health treatment before the murder, went on to flee the murder scene dressed only in her underwear.

She then jumped in a car and intentionally rammed a police car, whose driver had no idea of the stabbing, and lead authorities on a high-speed pursuit.

Maltese eventually surrendered, getting out of the car without placing it in park.
