Proprietário que esfaqueou menino palestino-americano até a morte morre na prisão

Joseph Czuba, a 73‑year‑old Illinois real‑estate owner, was convicted of a hate crime that killed six‑year‑old Wadee Alfayoumi and injured his mother, Hanan Shaheen. He was sentenced to 53 years in prison in March after being found guilty of murder, attempted murder and hate‑crime offenses. In October 2023, Czuba attacked the family, blaming them for the Israel‑Hamas war because of their Muslim faith. The case drew national attention amid rising anti‑Muslim sentiment. Czuba died in prison on Thursday while in state custody; the cause of death was not disclosed.
