They can’t stand living with the ghosts of their slain neighbors.
Residents of the Brooklyn building where a mother and her four kids were hacked to death said Monday that they plan to move away from the scene of the slaughter.
“I just moved here, and this happened,” said taxi driver Yun Wang, 40.
“Feeling is bad. It smells bad. We’re scared.”
Wang said he wasn’t home when his downstairs neighbors were butchered but that his wife “was upstairs watching TV” and is now terrified.
“I think all people wanting to move out. Nobody wants to live here. Nobody wants to stay,” he added.
Mingdong Chen
Next-door neighbor Katrina He, 30, at the Sunset Park building said she was sleeping during the Saturday-night massacre, allegedly perpetrated by a relative of the victims who was sharing their home.
“We will be moving out,” she said.
She recognized a photo of accused killer Mingdong Chen, 27.
“A few times, he stand outside smoking. I never talked to him,” the resident said.
Cops escorted the unemployed cook out of the 66th Precinct station house early Monday afternoon for his arraignment in Brooklyn Supreme Court.
Chen — who was earlier taken to a local hospital for DNA testing and collection of physical evidence from his body — wore a navy-blue jogging suit and didn’t say anything.
He’s charged with one count of first-degree murder and four counts of second-degree murder in the grisly deaths of Qiao Zhen Li, 37, and her kids: William Zhuo, 1; Amy Zhuo, 7; Kevin Zhuo, 5; and Linda Zhuo, 9.
Chen, a cousin of husband and father Yi Lin Zhuo, confessed that he killed the family because he envied their income and lifestyle, according to cops.
