Woman killed in northern Israel, brother arrested
Police say a woman was bludgeoned to death in a Haifa suburb, apparently by her brother who suffers from mental health issues.
Magen David Adom paramedics called to the scene at an apartment in Kiryat Ata attempted without success to resuscitate the woman, 49, and declared her dead.
Officers arrived to collect evidence and later arrested the woman’s brother, 50, at a nearby park, police say.
She was the second woman to die by homicide in the country in two days.
