Prosecutors charge Ramle man with murder of Sabrine Abu Suleiman last month

The State Attorney’s office indicts a 20-year-old Ramle resident Sunday charging him with the murder of 35-year-old Sabrine Abu Suleiman last month.

Filed in the Central District Court earlier today, the indictment accuses Nashat Hussein of shooting her four times as she was sitting in her car in a downtown Ramle parking lot on January 14, 2025.

Hussein fled the scene on his motorcycle, according to the indictment, and the mother-of-three was taken to a nearby hospital where she was pronounced dead by medical staff.

Prosecutors charge Hussein with aggravated murder and obstruction of justice, and seek to detain him until the conclusion of legal proceedings.

Violent crime in Arab society has worsened considerably in recent years and has claimed 41 lives since the start of 2025. Community leaders largely attribute the sharp rise to police negligence.

Last year, law enforcement solved only 15 percent of murder cases in Arab society, according to the coexistence organization Abraham Initiatives.
