Benton Statement on Conviction Man Who Killed Six-Year-Old, Wounded His Mother

PLAINFIELD, Ill. — Following today’s conviction of Joseph Czuba for fatally stabbing six-year-old Wadee Alfayoumi and seriously wounding his mother, Hanan Shaheen, state Representative Harry Benton, D-Plainfield, issued a statement.

“Nothing can bring back the innocent child who was so brutally ripped from his family more than a year ago–or make up for the terrible injuries suffered by his mother. But today, I’m thankful that justice has finally been done, and that it was done as swiftly as it was. My heart goes out to Wadee’s family and to those who loved him. Hate has no home in Illinois, and it’s up to all of us to continue working together for peace.”
