A Bronx ex-con disemboweled his wife Monday, then calmly called his parole officer to report the murder — and his dead victim’s baby daddy to gloat, sources told The Post.
“Go get your daughter — I just killed her mother,’’ 58-year-old Virgil Solis allegedly told his wife’s former lover.
“And [Solis] kept calling’’ the distraught man, telling him, “I’m coming to the funeral’’ — even as the man was at the police precinct talking to cops, said the victim’s pal, Sasha, 54, to The Post.
In a separate phone call to his parole officer, Solis also admitted, “I killed my wife. Come get her,” a law enforcement source added.
The ex-con was still being monitored by the state Department of Corrections after spending 18 years in custody for a brutal 1998 assault when he stabbed his wife, Valerie, 53, inside her Tremont apartment, sources said.
Another person in the building apparently heard Solis attacking his wife and called 911 around 10:19 a.m., according to police.
Responding NYPD officers discovered Valerie inside the seventh-floor apartment on Southern Boulevard near East 180th Street with a severe stab wound to her stomach and pronounced her dead at the scene. She had been disemboweled, a law enforcement source said.
Meanwhile, her killer was nowhere to be found.
He was eventually nabbed by cops Monday evening in downtown Manhattan, sources said.
According to records from state Corrections and Community Supervision, Virgil Solis had previously been arrested numerous times for assaults.
He served at least 18 years after cops caught him roughing up a woman who refused to have sex with him, sources said. He hit and choked the woman — leading cops to arrest him for rape, assault and aggravated sex abuse — although he was only convicted of assault in the first degree, sources said.
At one point during his incarceration, he landed in a mental facility, sources said.
