‘I felt like it was her time to die’: Queens man confesses to killing his girlfriend, prosecutors say

A Queens man charged with killing his girlfriend confessed to the crime and detailed to cops how he disposed of the body, prosecutors said Wednesday.

Assistant District Attorney Kristen Papadopoulos read from statements Miguel Pichardo allegedly made to detectives at the 102nd Precinct stationhouse at the 24-year-old’s arraignment Wednesday.

“I felt like it was her time to die,” he told police, according to court papers. “I slapped the f—–g s–t out of her.”

Pichardo chillingly told detectives that he looked into his girlfriend’s soul as he killed the 27-year-old, and then wrapped her body in a rug, cops said.

He then demonstrated the gruesome act with a bagel and a paper plate at the stationhouse, police said.

Pichardo, who shuffled slowly into the courtroom wearing a blood-stained Tyvek suit, shook silently as Papadopoulos read the charges against him.

A few members of his family in the courtroom broke into tears as they saw him enter.

Marc Laykind, his lawyer, told the judge he was having trouble communicating with Pichardo, saying he would not acknowledge anything he said.

Pichardo, who was busted by police while allegedly returning to the scene of the crime, was ordered held without bail.

The court-appointed attorney waived Pichardo’s right to a speedy trial, meaning the DA will have until at least July 1st to get a grand jury to indict him.
