A resident of Jericho has been indicted on serious charges following allegations of prolonged abuse against his wife, including choking, striking her with an electrical cord, and threats. Police stated that some of these alleged acts occurred while the victim was pregnant. The investigation began in September after the woman filed a complaint at the Hebron police station, detailing the violence she endured from her husband. The suspect was located and arrested shortly after the complaint was received, with his detention extended multiple times to facilitate the investigation. An indictment was filed on Monday, along with a request to detain him until the conclusion of legal proceedings.
According to the indictment's details, the accused repeatedly assaulted his wife over the years. In some instances, it is alleged, he used improvised weapons, including an electrical cord with which he struck her body. In another case, he allegedly threatened her life while holding an object resembling a handgun. The investigation also revealed a pattern of controlling behavior, with the accused allegedly restricting his wife's freedom. On several occasions, he confiscated her identity card, mobile phone, and credit card, thereby allegedly preventing her from leaving their home.
Following the investigation and the compilation of evidence, the indictment includes nine counts, encompassing aggravated assault, assault, threats, and violation of a court order.
