Ex-con is busted in beat slay

-

A BROOKLYN judge has locked up an ex-con over accusation­s he beat a man to death inside the victim’s apartment.

Prosecutor­s say Leonard Barber, 35, used a stool and glass bottle to beat Mack Wilson in the head and back while two accomplice­s kicked, punched and stomped the man inside his single-room BedfordStu­yvesant apartment on April 30. Wilson, 65, went to bed without seeking medical attention and was found unresponsi­ve by his girlfriend in bed about 1 a.m. the next morning. He was taken to Woodhull Hospital, where he died.

A city medical examiner determined Wilson died of multiple blunt impact of the torso.

Barber is charged with murder and was held without bail after his arraignmen­t in Brooklyn Criminal Court.

He has 27 arrests on his record — including charges he robbed and attacked an undercover cop in 2002, police sources said. He served prison time for weapon possession in 2003.

Police say one of Wilson’s other attackers — who are at large — is a relative.
