Queens dad who stabbed wife, two daughters to death jailed without bail, on suicide watch
Miguel Mejia, caught in Texas, was arraigned in the savage stabbing bloodbath that claimed the lives of his two young daughters and their mother.
Triple-murder suspect Miguel Mejia instead hugged, kissed and then killed his kids before fleeing to Texas after the Jan. 18 bloodbath, Queens prosecutor Richard A. Brown said Friday.
The alleged killer was back in Queens for his Friday arraignment on charges in the slayings that Brown called among the worst in his 23-year run as DA.

NYPD Crime Scene Unit investigate the scene where Deisy Garcia, 21, and her two daughters Daniela Mejia, 2, Yaslin Mejia, 1, were found stabbed to death inside their home.
The suspect told police that he tried to kill himself after the three stabbings, “but couldn’t do it.” He instead swiped cash from his murdered wife’s diaper bag and left the bodies behind, prosecutors said.

Mejia, 29, was arrested Monday night in Texas — two days and 1,700 miles away from the murder scene.
He was trying to reach his native Mexico when investigators tracked his cell phone and busted him on the U.S. side of the border, Brown said.

Miguel Mejia is accused of stabbing his wife and 2 daughters in Queens. Authorities say he killed them after he found a Facebook photo of his wife with another man on her phone.
Mejia, in a black sweatshirt beneath a black vest, stared down silently as he was led by detectives Friday from the 103rd Precinct. He was loaded into a waiting car for the trip to court.
The slaughter of the babies came after Mejia killed their mother last Saturday, using two knives to carve up Deisy Garcia, 21, authorities said.
The savage attacker broke one of the weapons off in his wife’s body, authorities charged.
