The State Prosecutor's Office has filed an indictment against Ephrem Melda, a 47-year-old resident of Beersheba, for the particularly cruel murder of his ex-wife. According to the indictment, Melda repeatedly stabbed his ex-wife with a kitchen knife while their five-year-old son was nearby.
The couple was married for approximately 25 years and had three children. The indictment alleges that during their marriage, Melda was violent towards his ex-wife and threatened her. They divorced several months before the murder, but Melda moved back into her Beersheba apartment with their young son just days prior to the incident.
About a month before the murder, an argument erupted between the couple after the deceased returned from work. The indictment states that early in the morning, Melda took a large kitchen knife and stabbed his ex-wife numerous times all over her body in front of their son. He then washed the knife and called the police.
The victim was evacuated to Soroka Hospital in serious condition, where she was pronounced dead. The prosecution is charging Melda with murder under aggravating circumstances, citing the extreme cruelty and ongoing abuse that preceded the act.
