<div>A New York dad who allegedly strapped his three-year-old daughter into the booster seat of a car he then torched the vehicle has been arrested on murder charges, NYPD sources said Friday.<br />
Martin Pereira, 39, from Valley Stream, Long Island, was also charged with arson and reckless endangerment for the horrific May 5 incident in Queens that left Zoey Pereira dead, police said.<br />

Pereira allegedly strapped his three-year-old daughter into her seat, chained the Audi A6 car shut with the girl inside, doused it with gasoline and set it ablaze in a park in Queens, NY.<br />
Zoey&#8217;s death was later ruled a homicide and her father, Martin Pereira, was named a prime suspect in her killing.</div>

</span></span><span style="font-size: inherit;">Martin had weekend visitation rights and picked up the child from the mother on Saturday, police sources said.<br />
He later called her to discuss their relationship, but she told him to get lost.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">On Sunday, Martin phoned one of Coleman’s cousins in California and threatened to hurt the baby, prompting the cousin to call Coleman around 8 p.m. to warn her, sources said.<br />

</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">The frantic mom called police in Nassau County, where Martin lives, then tried the NYPD, sources said. Coleman was at the 113th Precinct station when calls about the fire came in.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: inherit;">Sunday&#8217;s tragedy was just the second time that Pereira was entrusted to care for his daughter. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: inherit;">Coleman revealed she always believed her estranged husband could harm her.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: inherit;">Moments before the alleged burning, he reportedly told Coleman: &#8216;You&#8217;ll never see your daughter again&#8217;. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: inherit;">&#8216;I always thought he was going to hurt me,&#8217; Coleman said. &#8216;I never thought he was going to hurt my daughter.&#8217; </span></div>

<div></div>
<div class="image-wrap fff-pic"><span style="font-size: inherit;">Surrounded by grieving relatives and friends at her home in Springfield Gardens, Coleman said hours after Zoey&#8217;s death: &#8216;My daughter was perfect.

<div class="image-wrap fff-pic"><span style="font-size: inherit;">The mother said she had tried to modify their visitation agreement to block Pereira from seeing the girl as he became increasingly vindictive, but the court ruled against her.</span></div>

<div class="image-wrap fff-pic"><span style="font-size: inherit;">Pereira was subsequently allowed to watch Zoey over the weekend with the court&#8217;s blessing. It was only the second time he&#8217;d been entrusted with the young girl since he and Coleman split.</span></div>
<div class="image-wrap fff-pic"><span style="font-size: inherit;">Coleman said she wishes she had disobeyed the judge and blocked Pereira from taking her daughter.</span></div>
