Detectives hauled out more children's clothes from murder suspect Levi Aron's apartment yesterday and are investigating whether he is a first-time killer, law-enforcement sources told The Post.
The theory is based on 35-year-old Aron's age and the manner in which 8-year-old Leiby Kletzky was suffocated and butchered, the sources said.
Cops took bags marked "kids pants" and "blue child's spoon, pink cup" from the attic apartment and will run the items through the DNA database to see if they match other cases, sources said.
The loser loner stashed the items in the East Second Street home he shared with his father and uncle in Kensington, Brooklyn.
"There were two boxes in a closet, and they appear to have been there for a while," said a source.
They also carried out bags of shirts and jackets and 12 filing boxes.
As cops continued their sweep, Leiby's grief-stricken parents, Itta and Nachman, reflected on the tragedy.
"The traditional seven intense days of mourning [shiva] for our beloved Leiby are complete, but the ache in our hearts will remain forever," they posted on chabad.org.
