| Iryna Zarutska's alleged killer SCREAMS at judge in foul outburst as he's officially deemed not fit to stand trial for young woman's horrendous train murder |

| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The man accused of fatally stabbing a young Ukrainian refugee aboard a North Carolina train erupted in court on Tuesday, screaming at a federal judge moments before he was formally declared unfit to stand trial. Decarlos Brown Jr, 35, repeatedly interrupted proceedings during a hearing in Charlotte, demanding to know whether the judge had reviewed his mental health evaluation and insisting he wanted to press charges against the FBI. Brown continued shouting as court officers moved to escort him from the courtroom, making remarks about having 'material in his body' and asking whether the judge had received a letter from his mother. The outburst came as a federal judge ruled that Brown is mentally incompetent to stand trial in the killing of 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee, last year. Brown is charged federally with causing death on a mass transportation system, an offense punishable by death. He also faces a separate state charge of first-degree murder, although that case has been paused while federal proceedings move forward. US District Judge Kenneth D Bell ordered Brown committed to a federal medical facility for treatment after mental health experts concluded he is presently unable to understand the legal proceedings against him or properly assist in his own defense. According to court filings, Brown has repeatedly claimed he is suffering from what he calls a 'body emergency' and believes someone has gained control of his body through technology that authorities refuse to investigate. Defense attorneys told the court that Brown wanted the judge to hear a statement alleging that 'someone has full access to my body and they are controlling me wrongfully' and that he had been wrongly diagnosed with schizophrenia. A forensic mental health evaluation conducted by federal examiners concluded that Brown 'is presently not competent to stand trial,' according to the judge's order. However, experts also determined that his condition could potentially improve with treatment. The court found Brown's prognosis for restoration of competency was favorable if he received appropriate medication and medical care. As a result, Bell ordered Brown transferred into the custody of the US Attorney General for hospitalization and treatment for up to four months. After that period, the court will reassess whether Brown is capable of standing trial, whether additional treatment is necessary, or whether competency cannot be restored. Outside the courthouse, US Attorney Russ Ferguson said the ruling was an important step in the legal process. 'The court found that his prognosis is "good" to be made competent and set a four-month deadline to have that process go forward,' Ferguson told reporters.
