A crazed nephew beat his aunt to death with a broom after he flew into a rage Tuesday during an argument inside the woman’s home, authorities and sources said.
Alexander Fleming, 29, and his aunt Juanita Dallas were arguing inside Jamaica’s home on 164th Street near 108th Street around 10:30 p.m. when Fleming suddenly knocked his aunt over the head with the broom, cops and sources said.
Dallas was rushed to North Shore University Hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries, police said.
Fleming was arrested later that evening and charged with murder: depraved indifference, assault with intent to cause bodily harm with a weapon and criminal possession of a weapon, police said.
He has 10 prior arrests, according to law enforcement sources, although details of those were not immediately known.
