Police are searching for a sicko accused of sexually abusing a man’s corpse on a Manhattan subway, according to police and sources.
The unidentified accused necrophiliac is sought by the NYPD for allegedly having sex with the dead man on an R train just around 11:45 Tuesday night, police sources said.
He then left the Whitehall Street subway station in lower Manhattan shortly after midnight, sources told The Post.
The deceased man, who has also not yet been identified, is believed to have died of natural causes, sources said.
Police released an image of a man wanted for sexual misconduct of a dead human body on the R train. DCPIInvestigators do not believe the two knew each other, the sources added.
The person of interest identified by police is a heroin addict, his brother told The Post from his front door in the Bronx Thursday.
His brother said his troubled sibling had been staying with him since he was released from prison a few months ago.
He had been locked up for “a while” – said his 56-year-old brother, though he could not remember if it was for robbery or assault.
“I haven’t seen him in a few days. He started staying out late. He has never done anything like this in his life — not what they said he did. I don’t think that he did that. He’s not that type of person,” he said.
“They said he took his thing out and put it in the guy’s … yeah I don’t think he did that he’s not a pervert.”
The allegations against the suspect, who is one of seven siblings, has left his family “in shock” and “mad,” his brother said.
“They’re saying the police need to do a better investigation because my brother is not like that. No matter how bad the heroin addiction is, he’s not like that,” he insisted, blessing himself.
Police are also looking to speak with a woman who handed the deceased victim a cigarette of some kind before he died and the man committed sexual acts on his lifeless body, sources said.
She was seen rummaging through the man’s pockets after he smoked and became unconscious, according to police sources.
The dead man had boarded the subway around 8 p.m., and the suspect got on about three hours later — although it’s not clear exactly where, sources said.
