The suspect in the killing of a lawyer in Rishon Lezion today has turned himself in at the Lachish regional police station, police say.
The suspect is a Ramle resident in his 20s, who allegedly came to the lawyer’s office, shot him repeatedly and fled, police say in a statement.
Police Central District Commander Superintendent Amir Cohen confirms to Hebrew media that the suspect is a client who was “apparently unhappy with the service” he received from the lawyer.
