Shocking moment illegal migrant watches himself torching woman to death on subway: ‘Oh damn, that’s me!’

The illegal immigrant accused of torching a woman to death on a Brooklyn subway train was so blacked-out drunk that he was shocked when cops showed him video of the appalling attack, newly released court records reveal.

“Oh damn, that’s me!” Guatemalan native Sebastian Zapeta-Calil , 33, allegedly told NYPD detectives when he was shown footage of the Dec. 22 attack at a Brooklyn F train station.

The stationhouse interview came just hours after cops said the drunken accused killer flicked a lighter on an F train at a sleeping Debrina Kawam, a 57-year-old from Toms River, NJ, and set her on fire — then fanned the flames and watched her burn.
