The daughter of a high-level Brooklyn district attorney employee was found stabbed to death yesterday after her boyfriend told his former wife he'd killed her in his apartment, law-enforcement sources said.
NYC Transit dispatcher Brian Sohtz, 36, was busted in Suffolk as he drove to his ex's home in Patchogue.
He called her after the murder of Daniella Mannino, 34 -- the mother of a teenage daughter -- and said, "Hey, I just killed my girlfriend. I just want to come out and see my kids one last time," the sources said.
The ex-wife called Suffolk cops, who notified the NYPD. Sohtz was charged with murder early today.
Brooklyn cops found Mannino in a pool of blood in the bathroom of Sohtz's Gravesend apartment, around the corner from the childhood home of the victim.
Her dad, Joseph, 64, chief of office services for DA Charles Hynes, learned about the murder at work, another source said.
"Our hearts and prayers go out to Joe and his family," said Hynes spokesman Jerry Schmetterer, adding the DA would seek a special prosecutor to oversee the case. Additional reporting bv Andy Campbell and Cynthia R. Fagen
