Prosecutors have indicted a 28-year-old man in Haifa for the premeditated murder of his wife, Yunit Muswada, under aggravated circumstances. The indictment alleges the defendant stabbed his wife to death inside their Haifa apartment while their infant child was present. He then allegedly washed blood from her body in the bathroom in an attempt to conceal evidence.
The relationship between the couple was reportedly strained prior to the killing, with the defendant allegedly suspecting his wife of infidelity and planning to leave him after the birth of their child. According to the indictment, on the night of September 24-25, the defendant attacked his wife, stabbing her in the neck with a kitchen knife, causing fatal injuries.
After the stabbing, the defendant allegedly moved his wife to the bathroom, washed her body and his own, and then carried her out of the apartment to call the police. Responding officers found the victim without a pulse in the building's stairwell and began resuscitation efforts, in which the defendant participated. The infant remained in the apartment throughout the incident.
The victim was transported to Rambam Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. In addition to murder, the defendant faces charges of obstruction of justice. Prosecutors stated in their detention request that the defendant acted with "cold-bloodedness" by washing the bodies and providing only partial information to the police, indicating a high degree of danger and a fear he may obstruct future legal proceedings.
