A 20-year-old woman in Australia was recently found stabbed to death in a car not far from home, and now her father has confessed to killing her.
Britain's Daily Mail reported on August 19 that the father confessed less than a month after being accused of killing her in a car driven by his daughter near home.
Petrit Lekaj, 49, appeared by video link at port Adelaide Court on Monday morning to plead guilty to the killing of her 20-year-old daughter Sabrina.
On July 21, the talented medical and music student was found lying in the front seat of a sedan with multiple knife wounds on his body, just 250 meters from his home.
Father Laikai was found to be seriously injured next to her and had wounds of his own making. Laikay allegedly stabbed his own daughter to death before turning the knife to himself.
Laikay won't appear in court again until next January, but he instructed lawyer Ben Sale that he wants to plead guilty. According to the Adelaide Advertising Newspaper, when asked if he would admit to murdering Sebrina, his answer was yes. Under South Australian law, he could be eligible for a 40 per cent commutation.

Prosecutors asked for a 12-week adjournment for the toxicology and autopsy report to finally come out. Petrit Lekaj remains detained at James Nash House, a safe mental health facility in Adelaide. He will appear in the Supreme Court on November 25.
The reason for why the father killed his daughter has not been disclosed.
