Dad indicted for murders of 1- and 3-year-old daughters, their mother (New York, New York)

We've posted on family annihilator dad MIGUEL MEJIAS-RAMOS before. Still, this little piece of sh** never ceases to take my breath away. He slaughtered his baby girls because he didn't have car seats. Words just fail....

Man who ‘butchered family,’ fled to Mexico indicted

The madman who tried to escape to his native Mexico after butchering his wife and young daughters in their Queens apartment in January was indicted on three counts of first-degree murder Thursday morning as his still-grieving in-laws faced him down in court.

Miguel Mejias-Ramos, 28, wearing a gray sweatshirt and matching sweatpants, stared downward and said nothing as his lawyer entered a not guilty plea on his behalf in Queens Criminal Court.

Luz Amarado, the mother of the sicko’s late wife — and grandmother of his children — fixed the accused killer with an icy stare throughout the proceeding.

Mejias-Ramos fatally knifed his wife, Deisy Garcia, 21, on Jan. 18 because he was suspicious of photos he found on her Facebook page and phone, cops said.

The accused killer then stabbed to death 3-year-old Daniella and 1-year-old Yoselin — because he didn’t have a car seat to take them with him before fleeing, cops said.

Outside court, Amarado bitterly lashed out at her son-in-law.

“He used to be a part of my family. He was my daughter’s husband, and the father of my grandkids. Now he’s the person who took them away,” she said, speaking in Spanish.

The family’s lawyer, Roger Asmar, called her a lost soul since the killings last Jan. 18. “She feels horrible.

She told me that she walks around the streets not knowing what to do or where to go. She’s simply lost without her daughter and grandkids,” Asmar said.

In court, prosecutor Denise Tirino said cops who brought the suspect back to New York after he was busted in Texas asked him what he was thinking about. “God and jail,” he replied, she said.

The defendant’s lawyer, Michael Anastasiou, asked Justice Kenneth C. Holder to place his client in protective custody and on suicide watch, and that he continue to receive medical treatment, though he did not specify for what.

Anastasiou did not request bail, and Mejias-Ramos will be returned to Rikers until his next court date on May 21.

Mejias-Ramos confessed to detectives that he used five knives to viciously stab Garcia, who had gone to cops last May 30 and made a report in Spanish saying she feared her husband would kill her and her daughters.

A complaint Deisy Garcia filed against her husband that the NYPD failed to immediately translate.

Cops never translated the report, and her prediction later came true, prompting the NYPD to order last month that reports of domestic violence written in foreign languages must be immediately translated to protect potential victims.

The family is planning to file a civil suit against the NYPD next week, Asmar said.

Mejias-Ramos is facing life in prison without a possibility of parole if convicted of the first-degree murder charges.
