Authorities have arrested the father of the main suspect in the murder of Yana Zykova, who was fatally stabbed in her Kiryat Haim apartment in front of her six-year-old son. Police allege the father was present in the apartment at the time of the murder. Both the suspect, identified as Zykova's former partner Pablo Falcoosh, and his father deny the allegations against them.
Investigators from the Asher District's Central Unit are seeking to extend the detention of both Falcoosh and his father for 10 days as the investigation continues. The stabbing occurred on Saturday night in a residential apartment in Kiryat Haim, a suburb of Haifa. Emergency medical services found Zykova, 43, unconscious with stab wounds and declared her dead after resuscitation attempts failed.
Falcoosh, in his 30s, was arrested shortly after the incident. His father, in his 60s, was subsequently arrested. The six-year-old son, who has special needs, was present during the attack and has been placed under the care of welfare services. Zykova, originally from Ukraine, had separated from Falcoosh in recent years. Activist groups have called for increased awareness of early warning signs of domestic violence following the tragic event.
