A Queens mother allegedly killed her 1-year-old son and then apparently tried to slash her wrists with a boxcutter inside the bathroom of a Queens home Monday, cops and sources said.
The baby boy was found unconscious and unresponsive inside the bathroom of the private house on 157th Street near 108th Avenue in Jamaica around 1:30 p.m., according to police and sources.

The tot’s 28-year-old mom, Nicole Boodhai, was located with slash wounds to her wrists, authorities said.
Both mother and son were taken to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where the little boy, identified as Charlie Ramraykha, was pronounced dead, and his mom was listed in stable condition, cops said.
It’s unclear how little Charlie was killed, but cops charged his mother with murder and endangering the welfare of a child.
A nearby bodega worker told The Post that the toddler’s parents would occasionally come into the store to buy milk and water, and that he believed the couple had been living separately.
Cops confirmed that Boodhai and her son had different addresses.

The worker recalled seeing a crying woman run out of the house and wave to him, and the bandaged mother being taken outside as authorities arrived at the home on Monday.
“The lady ran out of the house, and the man pulled up in the car and came to the house. I don’t know if he’s the father, but he came at the same time the police came,” the man, who wished not to be identified, described.
“I think she got cut because she had [bandages] on her arms when she come out of house,” he said. “She was taken out, her eyes were closed. Everybody was thinking she was dead.”
“It’s sad what happened. I feel terrible when I see the police running.”
