Cops busted a crazed tenant Tuesday after he allegedly killed his Brooklyn landlord in a knife attack so savage he nearly chopped off the victim’s head.
Mohammed Siddiquee, 27, had hoped to fly out of Kennedy Airport and make a clean getaway after buying a $1,200 one-way ticket to Kuwait, where he planned on catching a second flight to Bangladesh, police said.
But cops intercepted him at JFK about 8:30 p.m. and took him into custody.
“I killed someone today,” Siddiquee blurted out when he was arrested, according to sources. He told cops in a video confession that his landlord constantly humiliated and teased him.
The madman pulled a knife on Mahuddin Mahmud, 57, during a dispute in the landlord’s basement office on McDonald Avenue near Avenue C in Kensington about 8 p.m. Monday, police said.
The victim’s wife and brother made the grisly discovery around 12:15 a.m. Tuesday when they decided to check up on him, and alerted authorities, who quickly focused on the suspect.
Siddiquee was charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon, police said.
Cops also said the suspect had debit cards with available balances of more than $24,000 on them that they believe he had taken from the victim’s safe.
