STEIN ASSISTANT QUESTIONED IN BROKER’S MURDER

Linda Stein’s personal assistant is in custody in Virginia Beach, Va. and being questioned in her homicide, law enforcement sources told The Post.

Natavia Lowery, 27, was in Virginia visiting her boyfriend, said the sources. Detectives from the 19th Precinct are on their way to Virginia to interview her.

One source said Lowery has conceded she was “involved” in the murder, and that she had stolen from Stein.

Stein, 62, a tough-as-nails Realtor-to-the-stars and former co-manager of fabled punk rock group The Ramones, was found bludgeoned to death in her 18th-floor Upper East Side apartment on Oct. 30.

Elton John is planning a memorial concert for Stein, with the proceeds going to cancer research.
