The State Prosecutor's Office has filed an indictment in the Tel Aviv District Court against 34-year-old Daniel Solomatov of Herzliya, accusing him of murdering his roommate, Yuri Korneev. The indictment alleges that approximately two months ago, Solomatov, his girlfriend, Korneev, and another resident were drinking alcohol. An argument erupted between Solomatov and Korneev that evening because the front door was left open, allowing Solomatov's dog to escape. During the altercation, Solomatov beat Korneev before leaving to search for the dog. Upon his return, Korneev reportedly struck Solomatov with a kitchen knife in the side. Solomatov then retaliated by punching Korneev multiple times, disarming him of the knife, and discarding it. Prosecutors claim Solomatov then pursued Korneev, who was attempting to retreat to his room, and continued to beat him, striking his head, face, and chest. The assault allegedly continued even after Korneev lost consciousness. Korneev sustained severe, multiple injuries and died in the hospital approximately two weeks later. Solomatov is charged with murder under circumstances that may allow for reduced criminal responsibility. The prosecution asserts that despite Korneev's initial knife attack, Solomatov's subsequent actions did not constitute self-defense as the immediate threat had passed. The prosecution has requested that Solomatov be held in custody until the conclusion of his trial.
