MOTHER STABS HER WHEELCHAIR-BOUND SON WITH CEREBRAL PALSY TO DEATH & TRIED TO KILL HERSELF!

A hospitalized Queens woman will likely face criminal charges Thursday after fatally stabbing her wheelchair-bound son in a botched murder-suicide, police sources said.

Migdalia Vera, 57, insisted she only plunged the knife into her adult son after his struggle with cerebral palsy became too overwhelming - and he asked for her help to end his life, the sources said.

"They believe she assisted in doing it, that it was possibly his wishes," one of the sources said. "She was saying he was very depressed being that he has cerebral palsy."

The sources indicated Vera will probably face murder charges over the killing.

Police found Rene Vera, 38, stabbed in the midsection about 2:40 p.m. Wednesday at the family's apartment at the Latimer Houses.

Inside the Flushing apartment, cops found what they believed to be the murder weapon - a knife with a 6¼-inch blade and a 5-inch handle.

The suspected killer mom was in stable condition at New York Hospital-Queens with a self-inflicted stab wound. She was expected to remain hospitalized for at least another day, cops said.

Neighbors were stunned by allegations of the son's death at his mother's hands.

"Oh my God, I'm shocked," said Nancy Villanueva, 36. "He was always smiling. He was a nice guy."

Another resident said the son couldn't speak much, but he would acknowledge people by flashing a grin.

"He would look at you and say hello and smile," said Barbara Tyce-Butler, 57, a Latimer Houses resident since 2004.

The woman said Migdalia Vera was a pleasant neighbor, although it sometimes appeared the weight of caring for her son became hard to bear.

"I've never seen her smile," said Tyce-Butler. "She looked like she was depressed maybe."

But Tyce-Butler said there was never any sign of conflict between Vera and her son.

"I never thought she would do that," said Tyce-Butler. "It's sad."
