‘Killer’ son calls DNA evidence a parent trap

The Queens drug addict accused of killing both his parents 15 months apart callously tried to claim that DNA evidence against him was nothing more than a remnant of his doting mom’s affection, prosecutors said yesterday.

“Funny that you found DNA now. Where did you find it — under her fingernails? My mother likes to run her fingers through my hair,” cocky alleged killer Gregory Cucchiara told detectives as they questioned him in the murder of his mother, Giusepina.

The chilling statement was read in Queens Supreme Court as Cucchiara, 36, pleaded not guilty to killing both Giusepina, 66, in May 2011 and his father, Carmelo, 77, in August 2012.

Cucchiara — whose lengthy rap sheet includes DWI and disorderly-conduct convictions — made the comment about his mother while in custody for allegedly killing his dad.

In court yesterday, Cucchiara’s lawyer, Michael Anastsiou, entered the not- guilty pleas on his behalf before several weeping and disgusted family members.

The alleged killer scowled at his relatives as Assistant District Attorney Patrick O’Connor read from Cucchiara’s oral and written police statements.

Cucchiara claimed he’d gone out for a beer and come back to find his mom dead.

As for his father’s death, Cucchiara claimed his sister’s husband was the likely killer.
