Crime occurred on August 22
Donald Trump condemned on Monday the murder of a Ukrainian in Charlotte’s ‘metro’, North Carolina, and took the opportunity to hold democrats responsible for violence in the US.
On his social network, Trump said the victim – 23 -year -old Iryna Zarutska – who had arrived in the US as a refugee, was ambushed by a man with criminal records and “mental problems.”
The crime occurred on August 22, but its disclosure was viral this weekend, after the release of images recorded by video surveillance cameras of the metro at the time before the stabbing.

Trump added that the author of the attack “had been arrested on 14 occasions and released under bail.”
In his message, he criticized Democratic judicial policies and attributed the situation to former state governor Roy Cooper, who left office in January and prepares to run for Senate elections.
The Charlotte-Tethlenburg Police Department reported that the young woman was attacked with a 34-year-old Decarlos Brown Jr. knife, who was arrested and faces an accusation of first-degree murder.
Trump, who since August 11 he has taken on Federal DC Safety Control, seeks to replicate this measure in other cities governed by democratic authorities, with the argument of “unprecedented crimes.”
