A resident of Eilat is expected to be charged with the murder of a caregiver for the elderly in Jerusalem, according to ynet. The suspect was released from prison six days ago.
Earlier today, the Jerusalem District Attorney's Office is expected to file an indictment against a 31-year-old Eilat resident for the murder of a foreign worker who served as a caregiver for the elderly in Jerusalem's Katamon neighborhood. The suspect had been released from a long prison term for a separate violent offense just six days before the murder, according to reports.
The case was first reported by N12 earlier this morning (Mon 09:02 Jerusalem), when the prosecutor filed a statement of charges against the suspect. That initial report identified the suspect as a 31-year-old Eilat resident and noted his recent release from a lengthy prison sentence. The current update, citing ynet, confirms the impending indictment and specifies that the victim was a caregiver for the elderly.
The suspect's identity and the specific circumstances of the murder have not been disclosed. The motive behind the killing remains under investigation.
