An Israeli woman in her 50s was found dead in her Ashdod home on Monday, Israel Police said.
Police said the incident is being treated as a suspected murder. As reported by KAN News, the woman was strangled to death by her ex-husband. The two were separated for over five years and have one child together, according to N12.
A Magen David Adom (MDA) paramedic reported the woman was found unconscious with visible choke marks across her neck.
According to KAN News, the ex-husband called police to confess and turn himself in and Israel Police confirmed a suspect was arrested shortly after officers arrived at the scene.
However, it has not yet been confirmed that the 54-year-old suspect is in fact her ex-husband. According to N12, the victim filed a domestic violence complaint to police five years prior.
This is a developing story.
