Animal Put Back In Cage

The twisted butcher accused of stabbing two children in an elevator, leaving one dead, was arrested Wednesday after police tracked him down by using DNA evidence and pinging his cell phone, sources said.

Daniel St. Hubert, 27 — a convicted felon who was released from prison nine days before the callous East New York attack — was busted blocks away from his family’s home in Jamaica, Queens, according to law-enforcement sources.

Police believe St. Hubert killed Prince Joshua “P.J.” Avitto, 6, and severely wounded Mikayla Capers, 7, with a kitchen knife at the Boulevard Houses on Schenck Avenue.

He was identified by the NYPD thanks to DNA taken from the 8- inch knife used in the attack on Avitto and Capers, reports NBC New York. The DNA was in the NYPD’s criminal database. According to authorities, he as nine prior arrests. He was last paroled on May 23 on assault charges after serving seven years in prison, according to the New York Post. NBC New York reports that among his other arrests, he has convictions for assaulting a cop and a corrections officer.
...
St. Hubert has a history of violent assault, with nine arrests on his criminal record, including two for assaulting police and correction officers, and he was paroled on May 23 in a domestic-assault case, police said. He was sentenced to time behind bars after convictions for attempted murder and assault, serving three years in city jails and two years in an upstate prison, state correction records show.
...
The two victims on June 1 were playing in front of their building when they went back inside to get ice-cream. It’s then that they met their attacker in the elevator at around 5:50 p.m. CBS New York reports that [after having been stabbed 16 times] Mikayla remains in critical condition in hospital with a breathing tube. Her family have told the media that she is in-and-out of consciousness.

Cops caught the suspected killer at 8 p.m., shortly after Mayor de Blasio attended a press conference to release his photo and begin a citywide manhunt.

St. Hubert was carrying a knife on him when he was found walking near 145 Street and 133 Avenue in Jamaica, sources said.

Police said they were investigating whether St. Hubert also may have fatally stabbed 18-year-old Tanaya Copeland on Friday four blocks from where Sunday’s attack happened. A similar knife was recovered at the scene of Copeland’s slaying.
...
Cops suspect that the same madman who slaughtered a boy in a Brooklyn elevator also killed an 18-year-old woman — and the NYPD warned parents to keep a close eye on their children.

The attack [on the two children] came two days after aspiring nurse Tanaya Grant-Copeland was stabbed 32 times on a nearby street.

Police officials cited similarities in the knives recovered and in the dress of the attacker, as well as the assaults’ proximity.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
