The man suspected of beating and strangling a Queens mom inside a Soho hotel was caught in surveillance footage fleeing the gory scene in the woman’s “distinctive” leggings, according to police.
A pair of blood-splattered men’s pants were found alongside Denisse Oleas-Arancibia’s body, which was discovered by a maid on the floor of a room at SoHo 54 Hotel in Lower Manhattan at 10:30 a.m. on Feb. 8.
Oleas-Arancibia was lying beneath a blanket and next to a broken iron.
The 38-year-old mother of two had checked into the hotel at 2:14 p.m. the day before, police said.
“We have video of the woman arriving at the location, wearing a distinct pair of leggings and later on we have a male leaving the hotel wearing the same leggings and we also have a pair of male pants in the hotel room. There was blood all over the pants,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said Thursday.
When asked by The Post what made the leggings so distinctive, Kenny simply said: “It’s a guy wearing women’s leggings.”
