Ashdod Man Charged with Murdering Wife Using Wine Bottle After Domestic Dispute
The prosecution has filed murder charges against Michael Olpovitch, 66, from Ashdod, for killing his wife Olga, 64. The incident occurred about a month ago and stemmed from a domestic argument over household chores. According to the indictment, during the dispute, Olpovitch struck his wife with a wine bottle, causing severe skull fractures and damage to her central nervous system. He then failed to provide medical assistance or call for help, leading to her death from the injuries. Olpovitch only contacted his daughter and son-in-law two days after the attack.
The case is now before the Beersheba District Court, where the prosecution seeks to hold Olpovitch accountable for the fatal assault. The charges highlight the tragic consequences of domestic violence and the failure to seek timely medical care.
