NYPD hunting for gay lover after John Lea is found stabbed to death in Hell’s Kitchen apartment

A man was found brutally stabbed to death inside his Hell’s Kitchen apartment Thursday – and detectives are looking to question his live-in lover.

John Lea’s friends first went to his W. 46th St. pad Wednesday after the 41-year-old failed to show up to his job as an event planner with the New York Society of Security Analysts, police said.

They found a ransacked apartment and a gruesome, blood-soaked crime scene in the bedroom.

Investigators were trying Thursday to track down Lea’s lover, whom Lea allowed to stay at his flat after the two met recently at a nearby gym, friends and neighbors said.
