Police have arrested a suspect in the murder of Yana Zykova, who was found dead in her Kiryat Haim apartment on Tuesday evening. Neighbors reported hearing shouting from Zykova's apartment but initially dismissed it, believing she might be arguing with her son. However, one observant neighbor contacted the police, leading to the suspect's apprehension.
Zykova, an immigrant from Ukraine, lived with her son in the fourth-floor apartment. Neighbors described her relationship with the suspect as complicated, noting they were separated and did not live together. According to accounts, the suspect arrived in the area Tuesday evening, searching for Zykova's apartment and moving between buildings.
Neighbors described Zykova as a kind woman who had recently been unable to work due to a workplace accident. They stated they had never heard of any prior violence between her and the suspect, nor had she ever reported any abuse. Police officers from the Zevulun station responded to the neighbor's call, entered the apartment, subdued the suspect, and made the arrest. Investigators and forensic teams were present at the scene collecting evidence.
The municipality's welfare services were activated immediately after the report. While Zykova's relatives have not yet been located to care for her son, his grandmother is reportedly on her way to Israel to take custody.
