DO PHOTOS PROVE AARON CARTER WAS MURDERED?

Tragic star's mom claims bungling cops let killer get away!

TROUBLED pop idol Aaron Carter was murdered, according to the I Want Candy singer’s mom, who charges pooh-poohing police dismissed the longtime druggie’s death as an overdose.

Heartbroken Jane Schneck recently released disturbing pics of the California bathroom where her lifeless son was found on Nov. 5 at age 34. Some photos appear to show feces smeared on clothing and the floor, and another captured a tub filled with murky green water, where Aaron’s corpse had sat for hours.

Jane claims cops never treated the area “as a possible crime scene” because of the onetime poster boy’s past struggles with prescription pills and mental illness — and allowed gawkers to “tromp through” his Lancaster home taking pictures!
