A man who shot and killed his daughter-in-law's father in Ramat Gan was indicted for murder in aggravated circumstances on Sunday.
According to the indictment, the suspect "did not accept that the wife [the suspect's daughter-in-law] wanted to separate from his son" and even threatened her father, Yossi Yosefia, before the murder.
It further appears that the victim’s daughter left their shared residence prior to the incident and moved into her parents' home with the couple’s young children.
Ten days before the murder, the suspect threatened Yosefia while sending him a message in which he wrote "Congratulations you are praying and in due time. Destroyer of families I swear on my parents' graves. You will pay ..."
