Man charged after fatal stabbing of Ukrainian woman on North Carolina train | North Carolina
On Tuesday, the Ministry of Justice accused a man accused of stabbing a Ukrainian refugee on a federal crime that could carry the death penalty on a North Carolina suburban train last month.
The Federal accusation comes in the midst of questions that Decarlos Brown Jr was on the streets, although he was arrested on the streets, although he arrested 14 punishments before he was accused of pulling a knife and killing 23 -year -old Iryna Zarutska in the video.
The case has become the last flare point in the debate about whether the violence, mental illness and transit security of the cities like Charlotte sufficiently deals with. The Trump administration shows that local leaders, judges and policies in the cities under -democratic leadership cannot protect the inhabitants of violent crimes.
Public Prosecutor Pam Bondi said in a statement, “Iryna Zarutska was a young woman who had an American dream-Korkunç murder is a direct result of unsuccessful criminal policies that put criminals in front of innocent people,” he said. “We will seek the maximum punishment for this unforgivable violence – he will not see the light of the day as a free man again.”
Zarutska lived in a bomb shelter in Ukraine before coming to the United States to escape the US to escape the war, according to relatives who described a safer life.
The video, released on Friday, shows that Zarutska entered a light rail train on August 22, sitting in front of Brown, sitting behind it. Minutes later, without a significant interaction, he pulled out, stood up and cut him around his neck. When the passengers collapsed, he screamed and disintegrated.
Federal was accused of causing death in a mass transportation system in prison or in a mass of death sentence. Northern Carolina’s Western region US lawyer Ruses Ferguson said that additional accusations could be imposed as the investigation continues.
The Federal case will work in parallel with the state case that charges Brown with first -degree murder.
The death penalty is also a potential punishment for people convicted of first -degree murder in North Carolina. However, the state has not executed since 2006. Legal challenges for the use of fatal injection drugs and the presence of a doctor in executions are partly delayed action.
According to the court records, Brown has been spent in the criminal justice system for more than a decade, including a dangerous weapon in Mecklenburg district for five years for robbery. He was arrested earlier this year after he called 911 from a hospital again, claiming that people were trying to control him. A judge released him without bail.
His mother told local television that he was looking for an involuntary psychiatric commitment after he was exacerbated at home this year. The doctors diagnosed him with schizophrenia.
The court records show that a judge ordered a psychological exam in July to determine whether he can contribute to his defense upon the request of the public advocate. It was not clear whether the exam was planned or why it did not take place before the end of August.
The Public Defense Office of Mecklenburg did not respond to a call on Tuesday.
Mayor Vi Lyles, in a letter to the inhabitants of the city, said Charlotte increased safety throughout the transit lines in response to deadly stabbing. The letter of the democratic mayor also criticized the court system and reiterated some critics of the city’s reaction.
Lyles described the killing as a “tragic failure by courts and peace judges, and said that the officers of the city arrested people who were later released.
The stabbing comes because Lyles searched for turmoil from Republicans, including the figures in the fifth term proposal on Tuesday, including the figures in Trump and Make America Again Again.
State auditor Republican Dave Boliek said that his office would control Charlotte’s transit system and look at the security and security budget and private security contracts.
