The New York subway system has never exactly been a cosy place, but the past six months have seen two crimes take place there that appalled even its most hardened travellers. Three days before Christmas, a man approached a woman sleeping on a stationary F train at Coney Island, Brooklyn, at around 7.30am – and set her on fire. Surveillance video captured Sebastian Zapeta-Calil, an undocumented Guatemalan migrant, nonchalantly walking up to 57-year-old Debrina Kawam and using a cigarette lighter to ignite her clothes.
Horrific CCTV footage showed Zapera-Calil – who told police he was a heavy drinker and smoker of a synthetic cannabis known as 'spice' or 'K2' – sitting on a station bench and watching as the woman burned to death.

The photo obtained by shows the 57-year-old moments after she was arrested for DUI in her home state of West Virginia in May. Tanned Retton can be seen looking disheveled and appeared to be crying, with her eyes puffy, wearing a yellow t-shirt and gold jewelry. It is a far cry from the appearance she put in at her daughter's wedding in Dallas in late June, ditching her oxygen tank for the entire of the nuptials. She was hospitalized in the ICU in 2023 with a rare pneumonia that she said scarred her lungs and forced her to use oxygen tubes to breathe. However, the tubes are not visible in the mugshot, taken on May 17, after she was arrested, and refused to have her blood tested for alcohol. She appeared in court in West Virginia after the arrest, entering a no-contest plea to a non-aggravated DUI charge, receiving a $100 fine – the standard amount for a first-time offense.
