Brooklyn sicko slapped with 40-to-life sentence for double murder

A babbling Brooklyn sicko was smacked with a 40-to-life prison sentence today for choking the life out of his ex-girlfriend and her daughter – then trying to make the deaths look like a murder-suicide.

Amahal Lynch meekly insisted to Justice Neil Firetog that he’s been feeling “greater remorse” for the brutal 2010 murders of Shakeema Elliot, 29, and her 8-year-old daughter Kayla Williams.

“People make mistakes, you know,” Lynch said. “Pushed to that point, I don’t know, but God is good.”

“I have repentance, you know,” he whined. “God is good, that’s all.”

Lynch, 23, pleaded guilty to killing Elliot her daughter in May 2010 inside their Sheepshead Bay apartment.

He deposited their naked bodies in a bathtub, and left behind pills in a clumsy attempt to make the slayings look like a murder-suicide.

“An animal doesn’t deserve to die like that,” said Delores Smith-Johnson, an aunt of Shakeema Elliot. “There was no regard for their lives.”

Smith-Johnson, 57, wore a T-shirt with the photos of the victims and clutched their funeral program as Lynch sat expressionless in an orange prison jumpsuit.

“Everything has been taken away from us,” she said. “No matter what went on between the defendant and Shakeema, it wasn’t worth killing her, walking away and then make it look like a suicide.”

The single mother was a sometime girlfriend of Lynch, a city maintenance worker who also sexually assaulted the little girl before killing her.

Smith-Johnson said the twisted nature of the slayings makes the pain worse for the victims’ relatives, who packed the courtroom for Lynch’s sentencing.

“They weren’t sick, it wasn’t natural causes and it wasn’t an accident,” she said. “It was by someone’s hands going around their necks.”
