CNN —A funeral and burial will be held Monday for the 6-year-old boy who was fatally stabbed when his Chicago-area landlord allegedly attacked him and his mother because the family is Muslim.
The attack, which also left Wadea’s mother seriously injured, is being investigated by the Department of Justice as a hate crime.
Czuba was taken to the Will County Adult Detention Facility and is awaiting his initial court appearance, according to the sheriff’s office.
“He was a 6-year-old boy, he loved everything,” Rehab said of the child, recalling how Wadea’s father had described his son.
In response, Israel has pounded Gaza with airstrikes that have killed more than 2,750 people, according to the Palestinian health ministry.
