Children’s screams alert neighbors to murder-suicide attempt

A Lod man murdered his wife and then attempted to kill himself on Thursday, stabbing her several times and then shooting himself in the presence of his six-year-old daughter.

The screams of the couple’s daughter reportedly alerted neighbors, who called police. Magen David Adom paramedics who arrived at the scene tried to resuscitate the woman, 42-year-old Snait Achanpe, but to no avail. The man was transferred to Assaf Harofeh Hospital with moderate to serious wounds.
