The suspect was charged early Thursday in the brutal murder of Queens mother Orsolia Gaal, with many sources telling The Post that he was her ex-lover.
David Bonola, 44, has been arrested and charged with murder, criminal manipulation and criminal possession of a weapon during a brutal stabbing over the weekend, New York police confirmed early Thursday.
