She was declared dead by medics who arrived on the scene, according to the statement, which says the motive for the killing was “probably criminal.”
Hebrew media identifies the victim as 35-year-old Sherihan Mishleb, a divorced mother of three. She was reportedly found by her brother, who alerted the police. Her children are said to have been out of the house at the time.
Following an initial investigation, eight of Mishleb’s relatives are reportedly detained, including her ex-husband. The police is expected to request the court to extend the detention of three or four relatives, the Kan public broadcaster says.
