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.

As she was arrested an officer kicked her to the ground as the car moved down the road.

Maltese was charged with felony aggravated fleeing, attempting to elude, driving under the influence and driving with a suspended license at the time of the crash, records show.

As reported by Florida today, while Maltese was in jail, she told correctional officers that someone needed to check on her father.

He was found dead later that morning.

Maltese had just been released from a facility for mental health treatment on the day she killed her father, WESH reported, citing court records.
