A new law could potentially see the killer of Ukrainian Iryna Zarutska put to death using an extremely rare method of execution.
The slaying of Zarutksa, a 23-year-old refugee, in broad daylight on August 22 caused uproar, with thousands of people online backing calls for a harsh punishment for the depraved individual responsible.
The young woman, who had fled the war in Ukraine and sought shelter in the US, was traveling on the Charlotte Area Transit System when she was the victim of a callous, cowardly and utterly vicious attack.
Shocking footage captured on the train – which went viral in the wake of the incident – showed a man who had been sitting behind Zarutska rise and move to pass her before launching into a frenzied assault, stabbing the defenseless woman in the neck three times.
