Woman Stabs Father Over Television Program

Monday January 16, 2006
Police say that a 45-year-old Ohio woman, who wanted to watch a football game on television, stabbed her 69-year-old father to death because he wanted to watch a movie instead.

Police Sgt. James White said Lona Rios wanted to watch Sunday's football games, but her father, Hilario Rios, wanted to watch a movie with two younger children in the house -- Lano's niece and her friend.

Angered at not being able to watch the game, Rios got a knife out of the kitchen and stabbed her father twice. She then found her niece's friend, who was hiding behind a couch, in the back. She then pushed her niece on the floor and stabbed her.

The two younger children were able to leave the house and call 9-1-1.

Rios will face charges of murder and two counts of attempted murder.
