A man arrested in the stabbings of his girlfriend and her three small children has pleaded not guilty to charges including murder and attempted murder.

Michael Sykes, 23, was arrested on Saturday following a four-day manhunt after the brutal stabbing at a hotel used as homeless housing.

Rebecca Cutler, 26, along with her 19-month-old daughter Ziana and 4-month-old Maiyah died in the attack at a Ramada Inn on Staten Island.

Two-year-old Miracle was in critical condition but was stable. Sykes was the father of Maiyah.

Sykes was caught on camera entering the hotel with his girlfriend and her three children on Wednesday morning, NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce said.
