The accused killer of an NYPD traffic agent was busted yesterday — after cops noticed his lousy parking.
Moises Martinez, 52, of The Bronx, was charged with murdering his girlfriend, Yajaira Reyes, 29, after a pair of cops spotted him parking with two wheels up on the sidewalk as he allegedly attempted to move her body from his apartment to his livery car.
The officers, suspicious over how he had parked outside 1356 Walton Ave., approached him at about 5:40 a.m., law-enforcement sources said.
The cops at first told Martinez — whose trunk was open at the time — to move his car. But after noticing how nervous he seemed, they watched as he circled around the block and again parked illegally, sources said.

NAILED: Moises Martinez is led away in yesterday after arousing suspicion while parking haphazardly as he allegedly tried to move his girlfriend's body.
This prompted them to follow him up to his apartment and question him, sources said.
Martinez handled the interrogation with about as much skill as he did his parking. When he mentioned his girlfriend, the officers asked to question her — to which he allegedly responded, "You can't, I strangled her."
Cops found the woman's body in a plastic garbage can.
"He claimed he didn't mean to do it," said one investigating officer. "Then, in his confusion, he didn't know what to do, and thought maybe he'd get rid of it [Reyes' body]."
Martinez — charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter — claimed that Reyes was banging her head on the ground and he put his hand over her mouth to try to stop her, law-enforcement sources said.
Detectives, however, believe he bashed her in a jealous rage and suffocated her, sources said. The married Martinez was apparently worried Reyes had been seeing other men she had met through her job, sources said.
"He's a quiet, good guy, [but] he was very jealous," said Maximo Pena, who works with Martinez. "He told me she was cheating on him. She started working [with the NYPD] less than a year ago and that changed her. He thought that maybe she was cheating with a co-worker."
Reyes had been working for the NYPD in a civilian post that allowed her to write tickets and direct traffic.
Martinez's wife and four kids were in Miami yesterday — though it wasn't clear if they live with the suspect in New York or full-time in Florida, according to Fernando Mateo of the New York State Federation Of Taxi Drivers.
"Moises is known as a very hardworking man," Mateo said. "Co-workers think the age difference between him and his girlfriend put a strain on the relationship."
Martinez has one prior arrest in New York, for grand larceny auto in 2003.
