'He believed someone gave him a man-made material that controlled when he ate, walked, talked, etc...' (Ken Silva, Headline USA) The man who stabbed 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska to death on a public train in Charlotte has reportedly told his family that a government planted a chip in his body, and that he was under mind control. “He was a high risk. He was not in his right mind. He was not safe for society. We know what he has been dealing with the last three years. And now an innocent woman is dead,” said alleged killer DeCarlos Brown Jr.’s sister, Tracey Brown—as reported first by the Daily Mail. Brown reportedly told the outlet that she was assaulted by her older brother three years ago in an attack that saw him bite her and break a door, and that he’s a paranoid schizophrenic who told her multiple times that the government had implanted a chip in him.
