A Plainfield, Illinois man faces serious charges, including murder, after he killed a 6-year-old boy by stabbing him 26 times, and seriously wounded the child’s mother by stabbing her more than a dozen times, over their faith as Muslims and motivated by Israeli-Hamas war, police say
The Will County Sheriff’s Office said deputies were dispatched to a home in Plainfield Township at about 11:40 a.m. on Saturday, in response to a stabbing between a landlord and a renter.
When deputies arrived, they found 71-year-old Joseph M. Czuba sitting on the ground near the driveway with a laceration on his forehead.
President Biden responded to the attack late Sunday evening saying, the "horrific act of hate has no place in America." "This horrific act of hate has no place in America, and stands against our fundamental values: freedom from fear for how we pray, what we believe, and who we are. As Americans, we must come together and reject Islamophobia and all forms of bigotry and hatred. I have said repeatedly that I will not be silent in the face of hate. We must be unequivocal."
"There is no place in America for hate against anyone," Biden also said. "We join everyone here at the White House in sending our condolences and prayers to the family, including for the mother’s recovery, and to the broader Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim American communities."
Authorities said deputies found two victims suffering from multiple stab wounds all over their bodies inside a bedroom of the home. All three individuals were taken to a nearby hospital to be treated for their wounds.
Authorities said one of the victims, a 32-year-old woman, was in serious condition and had more than a dozen stab wounds to her body. She is expected to survive the heinous attack.
