Man suspected of murdering elderly mother jumps off roof of Rehovot building
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA man suspected of murdering his 80-year-old mother has jumped off the roof of a building in Rehovot, after barricading himself there when police found her body.
He is being taken to Kaplan Medical Center in critical condition, police say.
A police negotiating team had previously attempted to talk him into coming down from the roof, but to no avail.
Officers found his mother’s body with signs of trauma earlier this morning and opened an investigation into the circumstances of her death, with him as the prime suspect in what is thought to be murder.
