A Manhattan man allegedly stabbed his ex-girlfriend to death then ditched her bloody remains in her bathtub in a grisly scene, police and law enforcement sources told The Post.
Melanie Woods, 33, of Second Avenue, was found with multiple stab wounds and a slash across her neck when cops and firefighters busted into her apartment for a welfare check at about 6 p.m. Tuesday night, police and sources told The Post.
EMS workers declared her dead at the scene, and the city medical examiner said it was a homicide.
Woods was supposed to go to California but she never made her plane, sparking concern from her mother and a friend who had tracked her phone’s location back to her apartment.
