‘S UAT-SLAY’ BUST

Fugitive duo nabbed in Pa.

Two fugitive squatters wanted for killing a New York mom whose body was found stuffed in a duffel bag inside a Manhattan apartment were busted in Pennsylvania on Friday, police sources said.

Halley Tejada, 19, of Washington Heights, and Kensly Alston, 18, of The Bronx, were tracked down by US Marshals in York, west of Philadelphia, just before 11 a.m. and taken into custody, the sources said.

It came a little over a week after the body of Nadia Vitels, 52, was found hidden in a closet at a 19thfloor apartment on East 31st Street owned by her late mom.

Investigators believe the suspects had been squatting in the upscale apartment and beat Vitels to death when they came face to face with her there on March 12, police said.

The home had been vacant for roughly three to four months and Vitels, fresh from a trip to Spain, had gone there a couple of days prior to get it ready so a family friend could stay there.

After bringing several items to the apartment the morning of March 10, she left and spent that night and the next one on Long Island. At around 2 p.m. March 10, the suspects were spotted on surveillance footage entering through the lobby and then taking the elevator up to the apartment, police sources said.

Her 23-year-old son received a text from her phone the night of March 12, according to the sources. Two days later, the worried young man called the police for a wellness check and, while waiting for cops to arrive, entered the apartment with the super.

The son looked around and was exiting the apartment when he spotted a duffel bag in the closet by the door that had a coat on top of it — and a foot sticking out of it, according to the sources.

Vitels’ body was found inside, with blunt force trauma to the head, multiple facial fractures, a brain bleed and two broken ribs.

A bloodstain remained Thursday on the floor of the closet where her body was found and one of the walls of the apartment had a huge crack, grim photos of the crime scene show.

The suspects were seen on surveillance video fleeing the apartment in the wake of the slaying, taking off in the dead woman’s Lexus SUV, according to cops.

The pair had been using the victim’s credit cards in the Keystone State, according to law-enforcement sources.
