A crazed nephew beat his aunt to death with a broom after he flew into a rage Tuesday during an argument inside the woman’s home, authorities and sources said.

Alexander Fleming, 29, and his 55-year-old aunt Juanita Dallas were bickering inside the Jamaica home on 164th Street near 108th Street around 10:30 p.m. when Fleming suddenly walloped his aunt in the head with the broom, cops and sources said.

Dallas was rushed to North Shore University Hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries, police said.
