Chicago, May 6 (RHC)-- An Illinois landlord who stormed the home of his tenants and fatally stabbed a 6-year-old Palestinian American boy in October 2023 has been sentenced to 53 years in prison.
In February, a jury had found Joseph Czuba guilty of murder and hate crimes for killing Wadea al-Fayoume, whom he stabbed 26 times. Ahmed Rehab, the executive director of CAIR-Chicago, said: “No sentence can restore what was taken, but today’s outcome delivers a necessary measure of justice. Wadee was an innocent child. He was targeted because of who he was — Muslim, Palestinian, and loved.”
