Man faces murder charges in the death of a woman who was lit on fire in New York City subway
Associated PressA man is facing murder charges in New York City for allegedly setting a woman on fire inside a subway train and then watching her die after she was engulfed in flames, police said Monday. New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch described the case as “one of the most depraved crimes one person could possibly commit against another human being.” Tisch said the woman and the suspect had been riding a subway train without any interaction between them to the end of the line in Brooklyn at around 7:30 a.m. on Sunday. Kathy Hochul this year has sent New York National Guard members to the city’s subway system to help police conduct random searches of riders’ bags for weapons following a series of high-profile crimes on city trains. About a year ago, Hochul supported funding to install video cameras on every train car in the New York subway system, said Michael Kemper, chief security officer for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
