Newark police are hunting for the brutal attacker who killed a man who used a wheelchair.

Wilbert Kesselly was found dead inside his home on Fabyan Place Tuesday. Police said the 63-year-old was covered in blood and badly beaten, WABC reported.

He died of blunt-force trauma, an autopsy ruled.

Neighbors said Kesselly started using a wheelchair about a year ago.

“He was a real nice guy. It’s sad, really sad,” one neighbor said.

Police have not released information on any possible suspects.
