Expressing his anger over the tragic incident, Trump called the accused an “animal” and said that he should “only” be awarded the “death penalty”. United States President Donald Trump has called for a quick trial and death penalty for 34-year-old DeCarlos Brown Jr, the man who brutally stabbed 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska to death on a commuter train in North Carolina last month.
Expressing his anger over the tragic incident, Trump called the accused an “animal” and said that he should “only” be awarded the “death penalty”.
“The ANIMAL who so violently killed the beautiful young lady from Ukraine, who came to America searching for peace and safety, should be given a “Quick” (there is no doubt!) Trial, and only awarded THE DEATH PENALTY. There can be no other option!!! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP,” Trump wrote in a heavily-worded post on Truth Social.
Zarutska had left the war-torn Ukraine, where she had been staying in a bomb shelter, to seek a better and safer life in the United States, according to her relatives.
