Charlotte train stabbing: family of accused killer says he should not have been free [View all]
The murder of 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska on a Charlotte-area public transit train has become the latest flashpoint in the national debate over crime and bail reform.
Authorities say the suspect, 34-year-old Decarlos Brown Jr., admitted to his family he killed Zarutska because he believed she was “reading his mind.” Brown’s sister later released a recorded phone call in which he said “materials in his body” were controlling him.
“The material used in my body stabbed the lady, you know that’s not me,” Brown said in the call.
Brown’s family told reporters he should never have been released, citing his mental health struggles and prior arrests.

You want to try to tell me again that this was a hate crime? It clearly was not.
