Sickly breast cancer survivor, 64, found with electrical cord around neck on her bloody Queens stoop as landscaper, 40, busted in slaying: sources

A 64-year-old breast cancer survivor was found murdered with an electrical cord wrapped around her neck on her own front steps in Queens Thursday — and the suspect, a landscaper more than 20 years her junior, was caught hours later with blood-drenched hands, cops and sources said. Juliet Kashidas-Singh, 64, who a neighbor described as a “sickly,” was discovered on the bloody stoop outside her home on 103rd Avenue near 105th Street in Ozone Park.She and her accused killer — Francisco Sevilla, 40 — had worked in construction together and were fighting over $300 that the victim apparently owed him, sources said.
