A Queens man can’t explain why he murdered his elderly coronavirus-survivor mother, prosecutors said Thursday.

David Galicia, 48, was still on the scene when cops found 78-year-old Camelita Cabansag’s hacked-up body next to a bloody meat cleaver in the kitchen of her home on 41st Ave. near 67th St. in Woodside last Friday, prosecutors said in court papers.

Galicia admitted he used the cleaver on her head and a smaller knife on her stomach, then ran out of the apartment and came back, said the criminal complaint.

He told detectives “he did not have any problems with his mother now or in the past and does not know why he stabbed he her," the complaint states.

Galicia also told cops he tried to hurt himself by cutting himself in the chest and hitting himself in the head, the complaint says.

He was arraigned in Queens criminal court Thursday on murder and criminal possession of a weapon charges, and ordered held without bail.

Cabansag had recently been hospitalized with COVID-19 and was on the mend, a neighbor told the Daily News.
