A human skull discovered in an open area in the Negev desert approximately two weeks ago has been identified as belonging to a woman murdered six years prior. The victim's brother was convicted in the 2018 case and sentenced to 28 years in prison, despite her body never being found. The indictment against the perpetrators detailed that the woman was repeatedly stabbed and kicked, even in front of her disabled mother, who was threatened by one of the assailants when she attempted to intervene. The convicted brother was sentenced to 28 years as part of a plea deal, while two accomplices were found guilty of aiding in the murder and failing to prevent a crime.
