A final postscript from the deceased Drexel Hill man suspected of stabbing and shooting his wife to death, then fleeing with their two young sons before ultimately shooting himself in New York, comes via Facebook.

The New York Daily News is reporting that Keith Belajonas posted a final message on his Facebook page following the 2:30 a.m. shooting and stabbing of his wife, and the post seems to provide a motive in the murder:

"Had an argument. She was cheating on me. I won," a seemingly remorseless Belajonas reportedly wrote, according to the newspaper.

Earlier today, Belajonas died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound after being confronted by police in Staten Island, NY, where he had fled following the early morning murder of his wife.

Our sister website, SLive.com in Staten Island, is reporting that Belajonas shot himself before police officers could approach the vehicle:

According to the NYPD official, cops received a 911 call from an observer, saying that a gray Nissan Pathfinder was spotted resembling the description of Belajonas' in an Amber Alert sent out after Belajones allegedly killed his wife in Pennsylvania.

Two officers in a patrol car picked up the SUV traveling south on Richmond Avenue, according to the police official. Police followed the vehicle, without sirens, noticing that the car was moving erratically down Richmond Avenue and then onto Katan Avenue.

The motorist then made an abrupt left turn onto the dead end of Bartlett Avenue. Before the police officers could approach the vehicle, the police officials said the driver had already taken his own life with one gunshot wound.

Before his death, Keith Belajonas had fled to a Staten Island CVS pharmacy with his two young sons. There he allegedly robbed someone at gunpoint, but left his boys, ages 4 and 6, behind. A relative reportedly worked at the CVS.

Belajonas' flight began at around 2:30 a.m., when the 32-year-old dad had a violent argument with his wife in their Drexel Hill home. Neighbors reported hearing at least one gunshot before witnessing Belajonas drive off with his sons, one of whom was heard to ask, "Is Mommy dead?"

When officers arrived, they found Belajonas' wife with multiple stab wounds and a gunshot wound to the head.
