The Queens man charged with killing his ex-girlfriend, stuffing her into a suitcase and tossing it along a Connecticut roadway admitted to cops that he dumped the body — but insisted she died during one last sex romp, according to a criminal complaint.
Javier Da Silva, charged Tuesday in White Plains federal court with kidnapping resulting in death, claimed to detectives that he bedded former flame Valerie Reyes inside her New Rochelle home on Jan. 29, despite her mom telling cops that the 24-year-olds hadn’t been seeing each other for a year, court papers show.
During the alleged hookup, Da Silva claims that Reyes fell on the floor and cracked her head open — but admitted that he reacted by covering her mouth with packing tape, binding her arms and legs, and forcing her body into a red suitcase, according to the documents.
He then admittedly drove to ritzy Greenwich, Conn., and ditched the baggage in a wooded area off a roadside, where it was discovered on Feb. 5, the papers show.
Cops tracked down Da Silva after he was caught on video surveillance using Reyes’ ATM card to withdraw $1,000 from her bank account on Jan. 30, arresting him late Monday at his Queens home.

In a brief court appearance Tuesday, Da Silva asked that the consulate of strife-stricken Venezuela not be alerted to his arrest, preferring only to tell Portugal, the other country in which he holds dual citizenship.
