Woman killed in Bat Yam, husband arrested, days after another suspected domestic slaying in city
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA 53-year-old woman was found dead in her Bat Yam home this morning by paramedics, authorities say, in what may mark the second incident of domestic violence in the city within days.
Police arrested the victim’s 52-year-old husband for questioning as a suspect soon after they launched an investigation into the incident, a law enforcement spokesman says. The circumstances of her death are still being probed.
On Monday, a 51-year-old woman was found stabbed to death — presumably by her recently estranged husband — in her apartment in the working-class suburb south of Tel Aviv. The husband jumped to his death from the roof of the apartment building following an hours-long standoff with police.
The last several days have seen a spurt of murders in Israel, including two people killed in Arab towns Wednesday night and Thursday morning.
