According to prosecutors, Camilo then went to the bathroom, where his 18-year-old stepdaughter was in the shower, and allegedly pinned her against the wall and slashed her neck.
The mother and the victims who were slashed fled the apartment after the attack and went to a hospital where they were treated for their wounds, prosecutors say.
