Even as two-year-old Yazmina's fearful eyes brimmed with tears, her father was not persuaded to change his mind from what he was about to do.

Consumed by hatred for his ex-partner, Ramazan Acar stabbed their daughter to death and later admitted it was for revenge.

Earlier, Acar had posted a chilling message on Facebook, "Bout 2 kill ma kid".

The 24-year-old was jailed on Friday for life, with 33-years' non-parole, for a murder the Victorian Supreme Court judge described as the worst possible kind.

Yazmina's mother Rachelle D'Argent said justice had been done.
