A suspect has reportedly been arrested over the killing of a mother and daughter yesterday in a car explosion on the outskirts of the central city of Ramle.
Reports indicated that the two women, Wafa’a Musratti, 49, and her daughter Cindy, 20, were likely relatives of people involved in a conflict between two crime families.
The suspect is due to appear at the Rishon Lezion Magistrate’s Court today for a hearing on his detention.
Footage from another car showed the moment of the large blast on Route 200, which occurred while many vehicles were driving nearby.
The Magen David Adom ambulance service said the two women were trapped in the burning car and that by the time fire and rescue officials reached them, little could be done besides pronouncing their deaths.
On Sunday, the Israel Observatory on Femicide lamented in its annual report number the number of killings of women linked to criminal gangs, with “a probability that the female victims were targeted since they were an ‘asset’ or the ‘property’ of men from underworld gangs in the Arab sector.”
