LEIBY KLETZKY WAS DRUGGED BEFORE MURDER

DRUGGED

"NOT GUILTY"

TRAGIC Leiby Kletzky was forced to take a cocktail of prescription drugs before he was smothered with a bath towel the medical examiner revealed yesterday. 
Levi Aron made the young Hasidic boy ingest hydrocodone, the schizophrenia drug quetiapine, Tylenol and the muscle relaxant cyclobenzaprine, according to the autopsy report. 
The cause of death was intoxication from a muscle relaxant, an anti-psychotic drug and two pain medications, followed by smothering.
Aron, 35, was slapped yesterday with two counts of first-degree murder, kidnapping and other charges by a Brooklyn grand jury, to which he has pleaded not guilty.

He faces a possible life sentence without parole if convicted. 
Cops say Kletsky was snatched as he made his way back to his New York home from a day camp and got lost. 
Video cameras captured their fateful encounter while Leiby's mother waited anxiously just a few blocks away. 
Detectives later found the boy's severed feet, wrapped in plastic, in Aron's freezer, as well as a cutting board and three bloody carving knives.
The gruesome killing  shocked the tight-knit Hasidic community in Borough Park, in part because it is one of the safest sections of the city and because the man under arrest is himself an Orthodox Jew.
