The man accused of burning a sleeping woman alive in a New York City subway was indicted on Friday on murder and arson charges, a prosecutor said on Friday. The indictment of Sebastian Zapeta-Calil takes place just days after he was apprehended.
The indictment will be unsealed on January 7, said Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez. The charges could land him in prison for life without parole. "This was a malicious deed. A sleeping, vulnerable woman on our subway system," Gonzalez said. An attorney representing Zapeta declined to comment on the matter to the Associated Press.
