A six-year-old child was brutally stabbed 26 times by his landlord in Illinois, USA. Joseph Kuba (71), who became a Muslim hater due to the Israel-Gaza conflict, committed this brutal murder. Police arrested him, NBC News reported.
The boy's mother was also reportedly seriously injured. Police on Sunday called the incident a senseless and cowardly act. The victim mother and child have been living on the ground floor of the house for two years.
The Will County Sheriff's Office said in a news release, "Detectives determined in the investigation that both victims of this brutal attack were targeted by the suspect. Because they are Muslim and the ongoing war between Hamas and Israel in the Middle East has affected it.'
US President Joe Biden expressed grief over the incident on Monday. He referred to this incident as a poison of hatred.
In a statement, US President Joe Biden said, 'This Palestinian Muslim family came to the United States seeking asylum — which we all seek. sought an asylum for living, learning and praying in peace.'
"Such a horrific hate crime has no place in the United States and goes against our core values," Biden added. He urged US citizens to shun all forms of bigotry and hatred.
Police officials rescued the mother and child from their home on Saturday morning. The house is located about 65 km from Chicago.
The sheriff's office said the child was stabbed 26 times, citing an autopsy. The child's mother was also hit several times. However, although seriously injured, his condition is not critical. He was admitted to the hospital on Sunday.
