Family of Adonis Reed leave courtroom after arraignment of Jonathan Thompson who is charged with Second Degree Murder of the 4 year old child is Criminal Court in Islip, New York on January 19, 2013.

Mourners of a 4-year-old boy murdered inside a Long Island home screamed violent threats at his suspected killer Saturday after the man pleaded not guilty.

Several young men yelled “killer,” “f---ing murderer” and “you going to f---ing die” as Jonathan Thompson was led out of a Suffolk County courtroom.

Thompson, 31, was charged with second-degree murder three days after Amityville police found little Adonis Reed lying unconscious on a couch in the apartment where he was living with his godmother, Latisha Pitt, and her companion, the accused.

A relative said Adonis’ mother placed him in Pitt’s care last year after falling on hard times.

“The family is just torn apart right now,” Adonis’ grandmother Linda Daniels said outside the Suffolk County Criminal Courthouse in Central Islip.

“This isn’t right,” added Daniels, breaking into tears.

More than 40 relatives and friends of the murdered boy packed the courtroom for Thompson’s arraignment Saturday. Many wept and moaned as the charges were read.

Judge Jeanine Barbera-Dalli ordered Thompson held without bail.

“We will defend the case â€" that is all,” Thompson’s lawyer, Joseph Hanshe, said afterward.

A neighbor told the Daily News on Thursday that a man named Jonathan fled the murder scene before the cops responded to an anonymous 911 call.

Adonis, who was wearing red pajamas when he was found Wednesday in the home on quiet Ketcham Ave., was pronounced dead at a hospital about two hours later, at 6 p.m.

Detectives said it appears the boy was assaulted.

Adonis’ 6-year-old sister was placed in protective custody.
