A woman whose husband injected her with cyanide and then drank a fatal dose died early Tuesday at the hospital.
Erlendy Flores, 35, had broken up with her husband, Flavio Godoy, 41, and returned to their Bronx apartment Sunday to pack, relatives said.
As she was bending over to pack, he jabbed the cyanide-filled syringe into her rear end. He then drank from a bottle of cyanide and dropped dead.
Godoy, a livery driver, was a former jeweler and police said cyanide is often used to clean jewelry.
Neighbors at the Kingsbridge Heights building said the couple - who had a 16-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son - had a rocky history.
"He would paint the walls with her," said neighbor Richard Santiago, 57.
"You could hear the screaming. I called the cops myself. No man should hit any woman with anything but his lips."
Santiago said he was with Flores' brother, who had driven her to the building on W. 195th St., when she screamed out the fourth-floor window "He stabbed me! He stabbed me!"
"By the time we got upstairs, he was gone," Santiago said.
