NEW YORK (WPIX) – The NYPD has identified the woman who was burned to death on an F train in Brooklyn as 57-year-old Debrina Kawam of Toms River, New Jersey.
Kawam was set on fire and killed while likely asleep on a stationary train at the Stillwell Avenue subway station on Dec. 22, according to police. Her body was so badly burned that authorities said they would likely need to use dental records to identify her.
Sebastian Zapeta, 33, was indicted on state charges on Friday in connection with Kawam's death.
