A deranged Queens man killed his wife and his 2-year-old girl with a kitchen knife before turning the weapon on himself, according to authorities.

An unidentified 54-year-old man stabbed both the 41-year-old mother and the child in the neck and chest multiple times before thrusting the knife in his own chest at their Ridgewood home on Saturday, according to sources and the NYPD.

“It’s shocking, you know, that it happens right next door to you,” said a neighbor in the quiet, working-class area, who gave his name as Andres.

“I guess, you don’t know who your neighbors are.”

Cops said the 54-year-old man was also taken to Elmhurst Hospital where he is in critical condition.

A kitchen knife was recovered at the scene, according to sources.

Another neighbor who shared a wall with the family said they heard no arguments from the now bloodstained apartment during the day Saturday — and in fact heard the twisted father jollily singing in the shower.

“I was, today, in the morning, I take a shower and this guy, he was f–king taking a shower and singing, like nothing happen, like a normal day,” the neighbor who wished to remain unidentified told The Post.

“Like he singing, he starting a normal day. Singing a happy song,” the neighbor recounted in disbelief.

“You don’t hear the fights, you don’t hear nothing.”
