Uncle of murdered Ukrainian refugee speaks outThe uncle of Iryna Zarutska, the Ukrainian refugee who was stabbed and killed on a Charlotte, North Carolina, light rail train, breaks his silence in a “GMA” exclusive interview.
The uncle of Iryna Zarutska, the Ukrainian woman who was fatally stabbed while riding the Charlotte light rail late last month, spoke out after his niece’s death, saying on Friday that she “didn’t deserve” to be killed.
“Iryna was…she was the glue of the family,” the uncle, who requested to not be named, told “Good Morning America.”
Zarutska, 23, was fatally stabbed on Aug. 22 just before 10 p.m. while riding the Blue Lynx Line in Charlotte, according to an affidavit obtained by ABC News.
The recent release of the attack on video has caused national outrage, with President Donald Trump demanding the suspect, 34-year-old Decarlos Brown, be “awarded THE DEATH PENALTY” in a social media post on Wednesday.
