(Washington) Donald Trump claimed the capital sentence on Wednesday for the alleged author of the murder of Iyna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee stabbed in late August in a tram, and whose death provokes indignation in the United States, especially in conservative figures.
“The animal that has so violently killed the beautiful young girl from Ukraine, who came to America by looking for peace and security, should obtain a” fast “(there is no doubt!) Trial, and to be awarded the death penalty,” said the American president on his social social platform.

On the evening of August 22, Iryna Zarutska went into a Charlotte tram, in the east of the United States. A few minutes after sitting, an individual goes up in turn, sits behind her, then stabs her three stabs, without any prior exchange, according to video surveillance images.

The 23-year-old blonde woman had left Ukraine in 2022 following the Russian invasion and “quickly made her new life in the United States,” said her death notice.
The suspect, DeCarlos Brown, a 34-year-old African-American man, was sentenced on multiple occasions in the past and had spent eight years in prison for armed robbery.
The Democrat mayor of Charlotte, VI Lyles, had mentioned a few days after the event the mental disorders from which the alleged perpetrator would suffer for a long time.
“I want to be clear, I do not demonize those who have difficulty with their mental health, or who have no accommodation,” she said.
Local resonance at first, the case takes on a national dimension with the publication on Friday of video surveillance images, particularly shocking.
The initial reaction of VI Lyles then causes an uproar on the right.
The Minister of Transport, Sean Duffy, thus accused the democratic mayor “and others on the left” of “minimizing murders like this by saying that one cannot demonize the homeless or the mental patients”.
Donald Trump also commented abundantly on the case, he who expressed his desire to place the fight against crime at the top of his priorities, mainly in the big cities led by Democrats, accused of laxity.
“We cannot leave a criminal fringe depraved with violent repeat offenders continue to sow destruction and death across our country,” he said in a video on Truth Social Tuesday.
