Joseph Czuba sentenced to 53 years for murder of Wadee Alfayoumi and wounding of mother in October 2023

A landlord jailed for decades after he attacked a Palestinian American boy and his mother has died.

Three months ago, Joseph Czuba was sentenced to 53 years behind bars for the attack. He was found guilty in February of murder, attempted murder and hate-crime charges in the death of Wadee Alfayoumi and the wounding of the boy’s mother, Hanan Shaheen.

The 73-year-old Czuba targeted them in October 2023 because of their Islamic faith and as a response to the war between Israel and Hamas, which started days earlier.

It's cruel that he got to live to 73 while cutting a child's life short

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 18 points 16 hours ago

That was two years ago, so it's not exactly as if he lived a long and fullfilled life after the murder.

You can't judge a book by....

How did he die? Somebody shank him?

Czuba died on Thursday in the custody of the Illinois corrections department, the Chicago Sun-Times reported, citing the Will county sheriff’s office. The law enforcement agency did not return a call seeking comment on the death.

So they're not saying they killed him

May he rot in hell.

Cremate the piece of shit, what a waste of space.

Then we're still wasting resources to burn the body. Dump it in a ditch to rot. At least his remains would help the local flora and fauna
