An Israeli woman is sentenced to life behind bars over the gruesome murder of her husband five years ago.
According to the indictment, the 58-year-old stabbed her 66-year-old husband, who had movement disabilities, by stabbing him 65 times all over his body while he was preparing to go to work.
“She stabbed him in the face, neck, abdomen, chest and back with the intention of causing his death,” says the indictment, which has been accepted by the Haifa District Court. “She first stabbed him with a vegetable knife she took from the kitchen, and when she saw the blade had become bent due to the stabbings — she went to the kitchen, took a meat knife, went back to him and continued stabbing him.”
The woman will also pay the couple’s five children and other relatives a total of NIS 258,000 ($75,000).
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
