Cops caught a suspect Saturday in the murder of Karina ­Vetrano, the beautiful jogger whose brutal strangulation last summer — in the high weeds of Spring Creek Park in Queens — had transfixed the city.

Officials did not immediately release the name of the suspect, but sources told The Post he is in his 20s and lives in a housing project in East New York, Brooklyn, a neighborhood just west of her home in Howard Beach.

The suspect had been on police radar for a while, sources told The Post.

..and I’m sure just about EVERY prisoner is well aware of that beautiful woman he murdered just for a few seconds of pleasure. I predict he is dead within 3 months.

In that and another pic he doesn’t look too concerned.

Almost smiling, in the other one. Another criminal thug. Good riddance.

From what I've read the animal should've been placed in a mental institution LONG AGO, not out in the streets and in the bush.

I want to know his RELIGION and his IMMIGRATION STATUS. The media is mum on that one.

BTW, this murderer told police he got "angry" when he saw her. Is he a Muslim who didn't approve of her short shorts and small top?

WAS THIS A TERRORIST ATTACK?

This reminds me of an article in “Runner’s World” which observed that the term “jogger” is used almost exclusively to refer to a runner who has been murdered or died in a sport-related accident.

It will be interesting how the feminist writers at Runner's World handle this based on the race of the alleged. They spent a good amount of print raging at men in general, but feminism seems to be an exclusive hatred of White men.

Interesting point. I agree their “running while female” article was a bit overblown. I mean, everyone looks at everyone else: that’s how you avoid running into people!

There was another one raging at male runners for giving safety tips to female runners during that time of the murders. It was at that point I decided it wasn't a serious running magazine.

Any running magazine that would publish an article trying to shame male runners who are concerned for their women runners lives has lost its purpose.

Best wishes for your training. I have a full coming up soon.

Good luck with your race. I haven’t run much since the last time I broke my toes, but my husband is always training for something.

We are all (11 of us) going to do a 5K trail run in April; it’s a fundraiser for Waterfowl Rescue, where one of our daughters works.
