A man, Sebastian Zapeta, stands accused of murdering a woman by setting her on fire on a New York City subway train.
Zapeta, a Guatemalan citizen who illegally re-entered the U.S., appeared in court this week facing murder and arson charges.
Authorities say he calmly ignited the woman's clothing and fanned the flames while she burned alive on the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue station.
While the victim remains unidentified, the horrific crime has shocked the city and sparked renewed safety concerns.
