Court Orders House Arrest for Man Accused of Indifference in Ex-Partner's Acid Death
The Lod District Court has ruled that Ofir Ben David, 51, accused of causing the death of his ex-partner Hila Malka Or Lehav, 39, through indifference, will be released to house arrest under electronic monitoring. This decision was made despite opposition from the prosecution and concerns expressed by the victim's sister. The judge was convinced that the risk could be mitigated through a stringent supervision system. On May 14, 2024, Hila Malka Or Lehav drank acid at Ben David's home, where she had lived until about two months after their separation, and she died two days later.
