An illegal migrant beat his 2-month-old daughter to death because he didn’t believe the baby was his, Long Island cops said Thursday.
A soulless Marlon Rabanales-Pretzantzin, 20, allegedly slapped little Liseyda Rabanales-Barrios in the face, punched her in the stomach and violently shook her inside his Inwood home on March 7, according to a sickening criminal complaint.

He then allegedly threw her on a bed and callously pressed his fist into her chest.

Rabanales-Pretzantin — a Guatemalan migrant who crossed the border illegally in 2022 — told police that “although he is listed as the father on the birth certificate, he suspects that he is not the father so he lost affection for the baby and felt some kind of animosity,” Nassau County Detective Lieutenant Scott Skrynecki told The Post.

Cops said Rabanales-Pretzantzin made his way across the Mexico-El Paso border in 2022.
He was apprehended by Border Patrol and released, according to Skrynecki.
