Man who alledgedly butchered Ukrainian refugee gives sister chilling reason

The crazed knifeman who allegedly butchered Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska has broken his silence from jail in a bone-chilling phone call captured by his desperate sister.

Decarlos Brown, 34, was caught on surveillance footage savagely lunging at helpless Zarutska, 23, from behind as she sat innocently scrolling on her phone during a train journey through Charlotte on August 22.

The sickening video has triggered widespread grief, fury, and mounting questions about public safety in the Democrat-controlled city as America grapples with the horrific attack as calls were made for the suspect to receive the death penalty if he is found guilty of her killing .

Sister exposes killer's twisted delusions in explosive audio

Now, his devastated sister Tracey Brown, 33, has shared explosive audio with the Daily Mail of a phone call she had with the deranged killer six days after his arrest, where he revealed what was racing through his warped mind when he launched the savage attack.

The 34-year-old maniac, who suffers from schizophrenia, can be heard telling his sister he believed the government had implanted foreign "materials" into his brain and they had been controlling his deadly actions when he pulled the knife on innocent Iryna.

Killer's bone-chilling admission: 'I hurt my hand stabbing her'

In the horrifying audio recording from the afternoon of August 28, Brown can be heard confessing to Tracey: "I hurt my hand, stabbing her. I don't even know the lady.

"I never said not one word to the lady at all. That's scary, ain't it. Why would somebody stab somebody for no reason?"

He bizarrely demanded police "investigate" the "materials" which were "controlling" him, while referring to the attacker in third person.

Sister's explosive fury at system that abandoned her brother

She revealed Brown had desperately tried to get admitted to hospital several times over the past few years as his mental health crumbled to breaking point, but callous medics kept tossing him back onto the streets after just 24 hours.

"I strongly feel like he should not have been on the streets at all," Tracey raged.

"I'm going to be honest. I'm not blaming anyone for his actions, except for the state. I'm blaming the state for letting him down as far as seeking help.

"When you have mentally ill people seeking help, and you're running tests on them, and you clearly see that you are dealing with a psychosis on an acute level, you do not let them go back into society.

"He was a high risk. He was not in his right mind. He was not safe for society."

'An innocent woman is dead' - sister's devastating admission

"We know what he has been dealing with the last three years," she added in heartbreaking scenes. "And now an innocent woman is dead.

"He was asking and crying for help, and no-one heard him or took him seriously. He reached a level of his mental illness that caused him to commit a heinous crime."

Desperate 911 pleas completely ignored by authorities

Brown also frantically dialed 911 several times, and told cops directly that he believed his brain was being controlled by a sinister microchip.

The latest recorded incidence of this cry for help was January 19, when he was arrested for "misuse of the 911 system" after he called the emergency number while police were conducting a welfare check on him.

During the disturbing ordeal, Brown told police he thought "man made" materials were inside his body controlling his movements.

"Brown wanted officers to investigate this 'man-made' material that was inside of his body," the arrest affidavit reads.

"Officers advised Brown that the issue was medical issue and that there was nothing further they could do."

Police response triggered violent rage and arrest

This dismissive response sent Brown into a furious rage, and he called 911. Officers arrested him and slapped him with a misdemeanor charge.

"He was seeking help," Tracey said. "He called 911 multiple times. Instead of talking to him they thought charging him was going to help."

Judge grants bail despite terrifying warning signs

Another golden opportunity to take Brown off the streets came when Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes was briefed about the case at a hearing on January 21, but she granted him cashless bail on a "written promise" that he would return to court.

Tracey said the judge ordered a psychiatric test for him through the courts, but "they pushed it back for a year and a half".

Prison hell transformed gentle brother into dangerous predator

She told the Daily Mail her brother first went to prison for armed robbery in 2016, and when he was released six years later he was a "completely different person" - a shadow of his former self.

"When he came home, he was not the same brother that I remember," she said.

"He used to be quiet and self-reserved. But he wasn't that brother any more. He was still quiet, but he seemed like he was out of sorts.

"He seemed like he was not in our reality any more. He seemed distant every time I spoke with him. I think being incarcerated caused some kind of trauma.

"I could tell that he was still trying to talk like himself, but there was something there. It started coming out more and more."

Paranoid delusions consumed his fractured mind

"Every once in a while, he would bring up the microchip, and he would say 'did you see that', and just stop talking and stare out in space somewhere," she added.

"He thought that I was in on it or that my mother was in on it."

Savage violence erupted at family home before fatal attack

Brown had also been arrested for violent crimes before - including brutally assaulting Tracey in her home shortly after his release from prison in 2022.

"It started with us arguing about cleaning the house," Tracey told the Daily Mail.

"I had never had bugs, and I asked him to keep his room a little more clean. He would leave food in his room.

"We went back and forth about that and it just kind of went from there. He flipped out. He bit my hand and I kicked him out.

"He knocked the hinges off the door trying to get back in."

Sister drops charges out of misguided love and crushing regret

Tracey said she reported the terrifying incident to police, but later dropped the charges because she could not bear to take legal action against her own flesh and blood.

"I dropped the charges because I understand him on a deeper level, because I was trying to put myself in his shoes," she said.

"I understood what he was going through and I knew that he just needed to talk about it."

"I blame myself because I feel like I gave up on him as for kicking him out of the house," she added.

"I feel like I did everything I could, but if I had known that it was deeper that what I thought... I beat myself up about it. I wish I could have seen how serious this was."

Childhood trauma in broken foster care system

Tracey said she also blames their mother. She said she and Brown were ripped from the care of their parents and spent most of their childhood bouncing between foster care homes.

During that traumatic time, she was separated from Brown but they still remained "close" emotionally.
