Ali Massweda, 28, has been indicted for the murder of his partner, Yanina (Yunit) Rossinova, with whom he has a two-month-old son. Massweda confessed to stabbing Rossinova in the neck in their Haifa apartment on the night of September 24-25, while their infant son was present. He then allegedly washed her body and his own in the shower to conceal evidence.
Massweda reportedly planned the murder in advance due to suspicions of infidelity and a "toxic and violent" relationship. According to the indictment, he attacked Rossinova with a kitchen knife, causing fatal injuries. After the stabbing, he moved her body and called emergency services, later joining resuscitation efforts to create a false impression of attempting a rescue.
Initially, Massweda claimed Rossinova had attempted self-harm. However, during interrogation by a police informant in a detention cell, he admitted to the murder and described their relationship as "toxic and violent." He also confessed to planning the act and considering fleeing the country afterward. The prosecution stated in their request for continued detention that Massweda acted with "cold-bloodedness" and "cunning behavior."
Rossinova, who immigrated from Belarus and had no other family in Israel, leaves behind her infant son. Her mother, residing in Belarus, is seeking custody of the child. Representatives from the "Michal Sela Forum" are supporting the family. Rossinova's mother described her daughter as having a "beautiful heart and a pure, good soul" and expressed hope for justice.
In addition to the murder charge, Massweda is also accused of obstruction of justice.
