Tells 911 he killed mother-in-law over voodoo dust

Eulabelle Moore knows!

A sprinkle of “voodoo dust” sent a Brooklyn man into a homicidal rage - leading him to beat his girlfriend’s mother to death with a pipe, authorities said yesterday.

“I just killed my mother-in-law,” the suspect, Joseph Cazeau, 48, told cops Monday night after calling 911, according to a police source.

“She was trying to hex me,” Cazeau claimed, a source said.

Cazeau was arguing with 61-year-old Marie Tertel at 9:30 p.m. in the Crown Heights home they shared when she threatened to use “voodoo dust” on him, a police source said.

Before she could hex him, he grabbed a pipe and repeatedly bashed her face and head, the source said. Investigators found Tertel lying facedown in the St. Johns Place house. She died at the scene. Loved ones denied that Tertel was a voodoo priestess, calling her a religious woman who attended a Christian church. The Crown Heights house is owned by the victim’s daughter Marie Luzincourt, who was not home at the time of the killing.

“We have family trouble,” Luzincourt said yesterday.
