Woman torched to death on MTA train allegedly by illegal migrant still cannot be ID’d two days after horrifying attack due to severe burns: sources

According to sources, the victim was asleep but alive when she was set ablaze at the Coney Island station, allegedly by Guatemalan migrant Sebastian Zapeta-Calil, and had a walker and some bags with her at the time — but cops struggled to pull fingerprints because of her scorched skin.
