The woman whose husband beat her with a crowbar in a jealous rage at a Washington Heights bus stop last week has died of her injuries, cops said Monday morning.
Maria Kelly, 49, died Friday — four days after her enraged husband, Julio Aponte, 63, struck her in the head as she stood at a bus stop at Fort Washington Avenue and West 163rd Street around 7 a.m., cops said.
Aponte allegedly left his wife for dead before fleeing on a motorcycle, with multiple witnesses calling 911 to report the vicious attack.
He then dumped the motorcycle at West 163rd Street and Fort Washington Avenue — before telling a parking attendant that he had killed his wife, police sources said at the time.
