A migrant from Guatemala has been arrested on allegations he lit a sleeping woman on fire inside a Coney Island F train on Sunday morning.
Police sources say a civilian identified the suspected killer as he rode on a train at 34th Street in Manhattan. The witness waved down the cops, who later picked the suspect up and detained him.
He has not been charged with a crime yet, sources added. The suspect entered the country and was detained by border patrol agents in Arizona in June 2018 Authorities were still working to confirm whether he is in the country legally, the sources said.
He is suspected of lighting the woman on fire at about 7:30 a.m. on Sunday, then watching her burn to death in a shocking killing just three days before Christmas. *** Investigators believe the woman was sleeping when the man — who was sitting across from the victim at the time — got up, walked over and tossed a match on her, sources said.
Cops extinguished the fire and EMS declared her dead on the scene.***

****************************************************************
I saw a horrifying video online showing the poor woman standing just inside the door of the subway car with her clothes on fire. She made no attempt to get out… probably because the perp was sitting on a bench outside that door staring at the woman as she burned. The woman was probably more terrified of the perp staring at her than she was of the flames burning her to death so she just “froze” where she stood.
The really DISGUSTING thing was seeing a NYC cop walking past the woman as she stood there burning AND MAKING ABSOLUTELY ZERO EFFORT TO HELP HER. But, not to worry, he’ll get his social security payment without offset now.

Every December 7 at 6:00 p.m. sharp, Guatemalans “burn the devil,” building bonfires outside their homes to mark the occasion. The tradition has special significance in Guatemala City because of its association with the Feast of the Immaculate Conception which honors the city’s patron saint.
a tradition brought from home?
