Stab hell is déjà vu for family

THE GRUESOME stabbing of Juan Carlos Abreu’s pregnant sister by her brutal boyfriend rekindled memories of the 1999 wedding-day murder of his wife’s cousin by a jealous ex-beau.

Abreu, who said his sister was in pain after losing the baby but recovering Wednesday at a Bronx hospital, recalled the September 1999 execution of Gladys Ricart, 39, by an obsessive former lover.

“I’m not foreign to this issue,” said Abreu, 42, about cases of a relationship turned violent. “We were getting ready to go to the wedding when we heard.”

Abreu said his kid sister, Livia, 30, was in stable condition but still in agony after Oscar Alvarez, father of her child, stabbed her seven times inside their Bronx apartment.

The victim (top photo) also had defensive slash wounds on both her hands, her brother said.

Livia Abreu, who was more than six months pregnant, lost the baby as blood poured from her wounds for 30 minutes while Alvarez (bottom photo) held her captive inside their third-floor residence near Yankee Stadium.

Alvarez, 30, remained behind bars Wednesday as Juan Carlos described the attempted murder suspect as a phony.

“He portrays a polite, well-mannered person,” said the brother. “What I can say is he’s not everything he portrays. I never thought he would go to the extreme.

“But I’m not surprised, per se.”
