Horrific subway drama in New York: sleeper set on fire!
A scene of horror was witnessed in the Big Apple on Sunday morning. In the middle of the vibrant metropolis of New York, a sleeping woman was set on fire in a subway train. The suspect, Sebastian Zapeta-Calil, a 33-year-old illegal immigrant from Guatemala, allegedly committed this outrageous act in Brooklyn County, according to reports Picture.
He is said to have calmly approached the woman, who was sleeping at the end of the car, at around 7.30am and set her clothes on fire. Within a few seconds the flames were blazing, a brutal spectacle, as police chief Jessica Tisch described it at a press conference. The act is considered one of the most heinous acts a human being can commit. According to the shocking videos, the perpetrator, who had previously lived in a home for homeless people with addiction problems, was even able to watch calmly while the woman burned.
Incredible video and search for the subject
The video footage is simply unbelievable. They show an absolutely emotionless perpetrator who appears to be involved in the events himself. Additional footage suggests that the suspect may have later used an item of clothing to fan the flames further. Despite the immediate intervention of security forces, the victim, whose identity remains a mystery, could not be rescued and died at the scene.
A shocking arrest and political consequences
The authorities were on the fence for a moment because the murderer managed to sit on a bench in front of the subway undetected after the crime. Only after a subsequent public search was he later arrested in Manhattan. Interesting detail: Zapeta-Calil had already been apprehended and deported at the border with Mexico on June 1, 2018, but miraculously re-entered the country unnoticed. In the wake of this brutal act, the voices of mass deportations appear ever louder. How Picture reported, Karoline Leavitt, spokeswoman for future US President Donald Trump, announced that the countdown to mass deportations has already begun.
The tragic incident shocked and reignited discussions about security and immigration. The investigation into the background to the crime is still ongoing, although the police currently see no connection between the victim and the perpetrator.
