A man thought to have murdered his 80-year-old mother has died after jumping off the roof of a building in Rehovot, Hebrew outlets report.

Police earlier this morning found the elderly victim’s body with a gunshot wound to the head and began a search for the son, upon which he barricaded himself on the roof of a building.

Despite police attempts to bring the man down from the roof, he eventually jumped off the building. Paramedics took him to the city’s Kaplan Medical Center in critical condition, where he was soon pronounced dead by hospital staff.
