A seemingly nonchalant Joseph Azzaretto, 33, can be seen walking up to a minivan parked near the couple\u2019s Astoria home where he allegedly stabbed Mary Kate Golding, 34, in the back, the video obtained by The Post shows.<\/p>\n

Azzaretto is believed to have placed a call to a family member and friend confessing to the heinous killing, law-enforcement sources said.<\/p>\n

Cops responded shortly after, and found Golding dead, with the knife still in her back, at around 12:30 a.m. Tuesday, the sources said.<\/p>\n

About six hours later, Azzaretto\u2019s lifeless body was found hanging from a tree in Astoria Park.<\/p>\n

According to sources, the couple\u2019s 11-month-old boy was left alone with his slain mother after she was stabbed. Golding\u2019s friend recovered the infant, the sources said.<\/p>\n

The suspected murder-suicide came roughly a half-decade after Azzaretto\u2019s brother Nicholas Azzaretto killed their father \u2013 who allegedly had a history of abuse \u2013 during a violent argument in the family\u2019s Monroe County, Pa. home.<\/p>\n
