On a quiet Friday morning, a dramatic call came into the Jerusalem District Police’s 100 emergency line: a man had entered his elderly mother’s home in Mevaseret Zion – and found her lifeless

What was discovered next shook not only the tranquil town but also nearby Jerusalem, and immediately mobilized the Harel police station and forensic teams

Murder Suspected – Followed by Suicide

Police forces arriving at the scene found an 80-year-old woman with no signs of life. A short time later, during further searches inside the home, they discovered a second body – a man believed to be the woman’s caregiver. Initial assessments suggest the caregiver may have murdered her, then taken his own life

Large Police Presence at the Scene

Officers from the Harel station, forensic investigators from the Jerusalem District, and Commander of the Zion Subdistrict, Deputy Commissioner Shlomi Bacher, arrived at the home. The area was sealed off as investigators began collecting evidence to determine the chain of events

Investigation Underway – Criminal Motive Suspected

The case was transferred to the Zion Subdistrict’s crime-fighting unit. Police describe the investigation as sensitive, pointing to a clear criminal motive and possibly personal circumstances between the two. All possible directions are still being examined
