Three women were found stabbed to death in a home in Queens on Friday, authorities said. A male relative is being sought in connection to the killing. 

The victims were found at the home at the 182nd Street scene in Springfield Gardens near 146th Drive at around 11 a.m. by home health aid helping one of the victims, who had a disability, according to police.

All three women were stabbed in the neck, according to police. 

The identities of the victims weren’t immediately made available. However, police added that they were 26, 47, and 68 years old. The oldest was the mother and stepmother to the 47- and 26-year-olds, respectively. The youngest victim was bedridden and had special needs. 

“I’m devastated, it’s a lot. We been here since after [9 a.m.]. We’re just trying to support each other,” the eldest victim’s niece told The Post, declining to share her name.

“I’m still in disbelief. I’m in complete shock,” she added. 

A senior law enforcement official with knowledge of the case said the attack appeared to be domestic in nature, reported NBC New York.

A male family member is thought to have left the home at around 5 a.m. and is believed to be the suspect. Police are looking for the relative, the official said.

 Mayor Eric Adams stopped by the crime scene on Friday afternoon to speak to investigators and family members. “My hearts go out to the family,” he said.

The incident is still under investigation.
