"Sometimes when I drink and erase the memory, and I don't know, right? When I wake up I'm already in the house, already sleeping. I wake up when I'm already home, or there are times when I wake up and I'm already at the train station."
"I was drunk," he allegedly said. "I drink in the afternoons." This admission highlights his ongoing issues with alcohol, setting the stage for the tragic event that unfolded.
Authorities said that early Dec. 22, the drunken accused killer flicked a lighter on an F train at a sleeping Debrina Kawam, a 57-year-old Toms River resident, and set her on fire - then fanned the flames and watched her burn.
"I am very sorry," he allegedly told NYPD detectives. "I didn't mean to. But I really don't know. I don't know what happened, but I'm very sorry for that woman."
