‘Molester’ gives self up for NY ‘murder’

An Oklahoma man facing child-molestation charges in his home state surrendered to the NYPD on Friday in the Upper East Side strangling and mutilation murder of an older romantic partner he’d met on a dating app.

Babyfaced Alex Scott, of Tulsa, turned himself in just after midnight at the 19th

Precinct stationhouse on East 67th Street, police said.

Scott, 24, told cops he didn’t remember the previous few days, “but he thinks he may have killed someone,” Assistant District Attorney Shira Arnow said at an early Saturday murder arraignment.

Victim Kenneth Savinski, 64, was discovered by a pal at 5:20 p.m. Wednesday in his apartment on East 83rd Street near Lexington Avenue.

Savinski was face down and covered in blood on his livingroom floor. He’d been strangled, and his head had been cut open with a knife or sharp ceramic object, Arnow said.

The two men had met just that day through a dating app.

“The victim thought this would be a romantic liaison,” Arnow said.

“The defendant thought this would be an opportunity to rob and attack.”

Scott was ordered held without bail.

There was a warrant out for Scott’s arrest back in Tulsa, where he’d pleaded not guilty to molesting a 5-year-old boy in 2018.

He was still facing trial in that case and had cut off his electronic monitoring bracelet, Arnow said.

Savinski worked in sales and was a genial man — always seen in a sport coat, according to neighbors.
