The lifeless body of a 50-year-old British Jewish pilgrim, identified as Yitzhak Almakis, was discovered on Saturday in a forest near Uman, Ukraine. Local authorities reported that Almakis, a father of seven, showed signs of violence. He had recently arrived in Uman to observe Rosh Hashanah, joining thousands of pilgrims who visit the city to pay respects at the tomb of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov.
According to initial reports, the body was found by Hasidic Jews who were in the forest during Shabbat. The exact circumstances surrounding Almakis's death remain unclear. However, the marks on his body have led investigators to consider a criminal motive, though no definitive conclusions have been announced.
Ukrainian authorities are continuing their investigation to determine the precise cause of death and to reconstruct Yitzhak Almakis's final movements.
