‘Just get right facts’

‘Gal-pal slay’ bleat

Now he’s having second thoughts.

Accused killer Anthony Hobson, charged with savagely stabbing his pregnant girlfriend as she pleaded for help, told The Post in an exclusive jailhouse interview, “I spend a lot of time alone, thinking. I have a lot to think about.”

When Hobson (inset), 48, was asked about having allegedly killed Jennifer Irigoyen, 35, and her unborn child in the vestibule of her Queens apartment building on Feb. 3, his left eye began to twitch.

He wouldn’t address the charges, but claimed, “Both sides of the story [are needed] to make it complete . . . I don’t think it’s complete. You need to get the right facts.”

Hobson spoke calmly in measured fragments but declined to elaborate.

“I have a lot to say, I’m just not at liberty to say anything for now,” he said. “I hope that the truth comes out. What I want is the truth.”

And he griped about being behind bars.

“It’s tough,” he said. “It’s horrible, not like anything I’ve experienced before.

“There’s not a real library here,” he said. “I read what people lend me, what is passed around.”

Hobson, who has two prior convictions, dragged Irigoyen from the hallway outside her third-floor apartment to a stairwell, then knifed her in the neck, torso and stomach in the building’s entryway, police said.

“He’s got a knife! He’s going to kill the baby!” screamed the victim, a realestate agent and ballroom dancer — who tried to name her attacker to a neighbor after being stabbed but her throat filled with blood and she couldn’t speak.

Hobson emerged from his protectivecustody cell at the Brooklyn Detention Center wearing a gray Correction jumpsuit, white socks and sandals and black metal-frame glasses.

He looked sullen, with his head bent down. He sat hunched over, his elbows on a table. He pursed his lips. He occasionally peered over at the female guard.

He declined to talk about the murder.

“My lawyer recommended I do not disclose anything about the case until this is all over,” he said. “Then I’ll be happy to talk. You can come back and we can talk.”
