The Jerusalem District Attorney's Office has filed a serious indictment against a Jerusalem resident accused of attempting to murder his wife with a Japanese knife. According to the indictment, during a hotel vacation, an argument broke out between the couple, during which the defendant attacked his wife, strangled her, beat her in the face, locked the door, and prevented her from calling for help. The next day, he strangled her again, threatened to kill her and disfigure her. Two days later, while the woman was at her family's home, the defendant arrived under the guise of reconciliation, went to his car, and returned with the intention of killing her. He pounced on her and slashed her face with a Japanese knife, while saying he would kill her so she would not marry another. As a result of the attack, she suffered deep cuts to her face, neck, and hand, and life-threatening injuries. She was evacuated to the hospital, received a blood transfusion and two units of plasma, and was hospitalized for several days. The defendant is also suspected of threats and assault.
