A 43-year-old woman was found dead in her Petah Tikva apartment on Monday night, apparently murdered by her husband who then took his own life. Paramedics arriving at the scene on Yosef Sprinzak Street found the woman unconscious, without a pulse or breathing, and were forced to declare her dead. Police launched a search for the husband and discovered him deceased in a nearby street, having apparently committed suicide. Investigators suspect the man used an axe to kill his wife in their apartment, with their children reportedly present during the attack. "This was a very difficult scene," said MDA paramedics Dor Tzabari and Muhammad Fawaka. "We were led to the victim who was unconscious. We performed medical checks, but unfortunately, her injury was critical, and we could only pronounce her dead at the scene."
