Police: Double murder suspect died from own bullet, not cop’s

The Police Investigations Department (PID) says a man who killed his ex-girlfriend and her current partner died from a self-inflicted bullet wound and not from police fire while he resisted arrest on Saturday.

The announcement comes at the conclusion of a preliminary investigation into the death of Ian Gavrielov, who killed Anastasia Rusanov, 29, and Eliezer Kandinov, 34, in Rusanov’s apartment in Rishon Lezion on May 25.

Police believe that Gavrielov committed suicide after coming to the conclusion that he had no way of shaking off the law enforcement officials following him.
