Cops arrested a Guatemalan migrant who allegedly burned a woman to death on the F train Sunday morning.
Sebastian Zapeta-Calil, 33, was charged with first- and second-degree murder and first-degree arson.
The unidentified woman was asleep on the train in the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue station at 7:30 a.m. when Zapeta-Calil allegedly set her clothes on fire with a lighter, authorities said. The woman was engulfed in flames and died at the scene.
Police arrested the suspect on a train in Manhattan a few hours later.
Cops said that Zapeta-Calil had been staying at an East New York homeless shelter and that he and the victim didn’t know each other.
According to ABC News, Zapeta-Calil entered the U.S. illegally in 2018 and was quickly deported but returned at an unspecified time.
