A new law could potentially see the killer of Ukrainian Iryna Zarutska put to death using an extremely rare method of execution.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The slaying of Zarutksa, a 23-year-old refugee, in broad daylight on August 22 caused uproar, with thousands of people online backing calls for a harsh punishment for the depraved individual responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The young woman, who had fled the war in Ukraine and sought shelter in the US, was traveling on the Charlotte Area Transit System when she was the victim of a callous, cowardly and utterly vicious attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shocking footage captured on the train \u2013 which went viral in the wake of the incident \u2013 showed a man who had been sitting behind Zarutska rise and move to pass her before launching into a frenzied assault, stabbing the defenseless woman in the neck three times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That man was Decarlos Brown Jr., a known felon who had reportedly<\/a> been arrested 14 times before the sickening attack on August 22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tragically, Zarutska was pronounced dead at the scene, despite efforts from witnesses to try and save her life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brown, it\u2019s said, will face the death penalty for his crime if found guilty, while a new criminal justice reform that has been introduced in honor of his victim may dictate the means by which he is eventually executed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the wake of Zarutska\u2019s murder, House Bill 307 \u2014 dubbed \u201cIryna\u2019s Law\u201d<\/a> \u2014 was overwhelmingly approved by both chambers in North Carolina\u2019s Legislature. It was then green lit by Democratic Governor Josh Stein on Friday, October 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the New York Post<\/a>, the bill included an amendment that could allow North Carolina to resume capital punishment, including by firing squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHouse Bill 307, or \u2018Iryna\u2019s Law,\u2019 alerts the judiciary to take a special look at people who may pose unusual risks of violence before determining their bail,\u201d Governor Stein said on October 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a good thing and why I have signed it into law.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stein did say make it known, however, that he disapproved of firing squads as a method of execution, stating: \u201cThere will be no firing squads in North Carolina during my time as governor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only authorised method of execution in North Carolina is lethal injection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
