Man suspected of killing father, in 199th homicide this year

A 43-year-old man has been arrested in Hadera on suspicion of stabbing his father to death, police say.

The slaying marks the 199th killing in Israel this year, according to Haaretz, making this already one of the bloodiest years in Israel’s history, largely fueled by violence wracking Arab society.

The victim, 80, is declared dead at the scene.

According to Haaretz, citing police sources, when cops entered the home, the suspect was choking his mother and holding a knife. He was subdued with a taser and arrested.
