Busted in stab-slay of cousin

A QUEENS MAN stabbed his cousin to death at their home early Monday — and then confessed to the crime when cops showed up, police said.

“The perpetrator made a statement to police,” Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce said.

“I’m guilty, I’m the one who killed him,” Boyce quoted Lovedeep Singh, 24, as saying.

Singh was arraigned Monday on murder and weapon possession charges and ordered held without bail.

Boyce said Singh argued with the 26-year-old victim inside a Richmond Hill home on 117th St., near 91st Ave. The men were roommates.

Family members identified the slain man as Sharanjit Singh (photo).

“We were good friends, and I’ve known him personally for a long time,” said Barjinder Singh, whose brother-in-law is the victim’s cousin.

Sharanjit Singh, a livery car driver, moved to the U.S. from India in 2013, he said.

Barjinder Singh described the victim as energetic and happy, “always looking to help and get ahead in life by doing right. Worked hard. Drove for multiple hail services for extended hours.”

Sharanjit Singh and Lovedeep Singh were “good friends,” he said, adding he didn’t know the motive.

A third cousin living in the home awoke to find Sharanjit Singh injured, called 911 “and tried to apply pressure on his wound,” Barjinder Singh said.

Police responding to a 2:27 a.m. 911 call found the victim had been stabbed in the armpit and shoulder.
