A pair of cold-hearted teen squatters who allegedly stomped a New York mom to death in her family’s Kips Bay apartment should never been able to get into the building in the first place, the victim’s son said. Suspects Kensly Alston and Halley Tejada were squatting in a vacant 19th-floor pad at 206 East 31st Street for days before cruelly killing Natalie Vitels, stuffing her in a duffel bag and tossing it in a closet, authorities said. The apartment, once owned by Vitels’ mother, was vacant for months.
