President Donald Trump weighed in Monday on the fatal stabbing of a Ukrainian refugee in Charlotte.
Iryna Zarutska, 23, died on Aug. 22, after being stabbed in the throat by a stranger who was riding behind her on the Lynx Blue Line in Charlotte. Police identified the suspect in her death as 34-year-old Decarlos Brown Jr., who has since been arrested and charged with first-degree murder.
“There are evil people and we have to confront that,” Trump said during a meeting of a commission on religious liberty. “I just give my love and hope to the family of the young woman who was stabbed.”
In his statement, Trump said the stabbing happened in the last couple of days, but it occurred Aug. 22.
