"`My mom! My mom!` cried the son, who ran downstairs to get deli owner Darrio Urquijo, 50.
"Urquijo said he found the husband and wife on the floor of their bedroom, a brown-handled knife sticking out of the man's chest.
"`I go with the kid and I see the guy on the floor, the wife, too, and he has a knife in his chest,` Urquijo said. `There was a lot of blood on his hands.`
"Geraldina Salazar was still breathing when cops found her with several stab wounds to the neck and torso. She died at Jamaica Hospital.
