The creepy loner accused of strangling a Brooklyn mom and decapitating her 8-year-old son with a machete was arraigned yesterday, as the bloodbath's lone survivor struggled with the loss of her family.
Zina Whitley, 14, was barely able to speak to relatives and cops from her Coney Island Hospital bed a day after the gruesome murders.

"She's crying a lot, she misses her mother and brother," said her uncle Michael Whitley after visiting the teenager.

"She says she didn't protect her brother and her mother," he said. "We're telling her it's not her fault."
