A 33-year-old Guatemalan citizen was arrested on suspicion of murder and arson after a woman was burned to death on a New York City subway train over the weekend, police and federal officials said on Monday. Sebastian Zapeta was arrested about six hours after police say he used a lighter to ignite the clothes of a woman who appeared to be dozing on a stationary F train at the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue subway station in Brooklyn. The suspect entered the U.S. without authorization in 2018 and was deported to Guatemala a few days later, and it was unclear when he unlawfully re-entered, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said in a statement on Monday.
