A man in United States has been charged in hate crime with murder on Sunday after allegedly stabbing a Muslim woman and six-year-old boy for over 26 times. The attack has been linked to the war between Israel and Hamas by the police officials.

According to the statement from the Will County sheriff’s office in Illinois, the child who was stabbed 26 times, died at hospital, but the 32-year-old woman who is believed to be his mother, is expected to survive after this heinous attack.

As per press release, “When police personnel arrived on scene they located the suspect, Joseph M. Czuba (age 71) of Plainfield sitting upright outside on the ground near the driveway of the residence. Joseph Czuba had a laceration to his forehead and was later transported to a local area hospital for treatment.”

It added, “Deputies located two victims inside the residence in a bedroom.  Both victims had multiple stab wounds to their chest, torso, and upper extremities.  Both victims were transported to a local area hospital for treatment.  The thirty-two (32) year-old female was transported in serious condition and had over a dozen stab wounds to her body.  The female victim is recovering from her injuries at a local area hospital and is expected to survive this brutal attack.”

Adding to this, the officials disclosed that detectives have been able to determine that there is no further danger to the public.  The suspect has been taken into custody and the weapon used in this heinous crime has been recovered.  The Will County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the Plainfield Police Department for their assistance in this incident.  Additional information will be provided when appropriate.
