Killed 2 after rejection — court papers

A rejected lover high on cocaine told detectives he fatally slashed two women during a crazed stabbing spree after his romantic advance was rebuffed, according to court papers filed Tuesday in Manhattan.

Kelvin Valdez, 27, of Inwood, was indicted on two counts of first-degree murder for the April 27 slayings of Jaslynn Pena, 37, and her roommate, Belkis Cruz, 51, in their apartment on Sherman Ave. near Sickles St.

“Jaslynn wanted to leave me,” Valdez allegedly confessed to homicide detectives at the 34th Precinct stationhouse less than 12 hours after his arrest, court records show.

“I stabbed her because she didn’t want to be with me,” his taped confession stated. “She tried to push me away, I took out the knife. I stabbed the lady [Cruz]. Jaslynn started screaming for help. She told me to leave, we talked, we started to argue, she told me she didn’t love [me]. I stabbed her, too.”

The two women had lived together for several years, their neighbors told the Daily News in April, with Cruz renting a room to Pena after the younger woman got a divorce. Cruz later became ill, and Pena continued to live with her.

The bodies of both women were discovered after a neighbor called cops and reported seeing blood seeping into the hallway from under their front door. Valdez (photo), who authorities say had dated Pena, had a history of violence with her.

Valdez was arrested about 45 minutes after the killing — less than a block away. According to police, he had cocaine on him, a knife, five bottles of prescription medication and Cruz’s cell phone.

Also in his taped confession to detectives, Valdez — who stabbed someone when he lost his temper in 2013, the indictment shows — said he bought two knives to carry out the carnage the day before.

“The other woman tried to tell me to leave. I stabbed the older woman first. I stabbed Jaslynn second. I stabbed both of them,” Valdez said.

“I went into the bathroom and washed the blood up, I went out the fire escape. I tried to clean up.”

After his arrest for a violent assault in July 2013, Valdez told detectives he stabbed a man, identified in court papers as Chris, two or three times because he lost his temper, the court papers showed.
