Man Indicted In Burning Death Of Woman Inside A NYC Subway Train

1 week ago The man accused of burning a woman to death inside a New York City subway train has been indicted on state charges. A prosecutor announced Sebastian Zapeta’s indictment at a court hearing Friday. The development comes days after Zapeta’s arrest and subsequent police questioning in which they say he identified himself in photos and surveillance video showing the fire being lit. The indictment will be under seal until Zapeta is arraigned, likely in a few weeks. He remains jailed. Federal immigration officials say the 33-year-old Zapeta is from Guatemala and entered the U.S. illegally. He was initially charged by criminal complaint with murder and arson.
