An ex-cop convicted of murdering his wife blubbered like a baby yesterday before a judge sent him away for up to life behind bars.

Weeping wife-killer Eddy Coello got hit with the maximum punishment — 25 years to life — by an unsympathetic Supreme Court Justice Ralph Fabrizio.

“What you did was horrific. You have a very dark side,” the Bronx judge lambasted the cold-blooded killer.

Before that, a whimpering Coello, 41, tried to explain away his horrific act.

“Somehow, we let our emotions get the best of us. I lost control. I snapped,” said Coello, who in a fit of rage strangled his wife, mother-of-four Tina Adovasio, in March.

Handcuffed and wearing a black suit, the once- cocky Coello turned to his victim’s stoic family.

“I’m sorry for putting you through this. I’m sorry for all the pain and anguish. There are simply no words to explain the magnitude of sadness I feel. I surrender to the consequences of my actions.”

But his feeble pleas fell on deaf ears.

Stephanie Susco stared down her sister-in-law’s killer.

“Abusive, violent, monster, evil, coward, murderer,” she said.
