The State Prosecutor's Office today (Sunday) submitted an indictment to the Be'er Sheva District Court against Ifrem Melda, a 47-year-old resident of Be'er Sheva, for the murder of his ex-wife with exceptional cruelty. According to the indictment, Melda stabbed his ex-wife multiple times with a large kitchen knife in front of their five-year-old son. The couple were married for about 25 years and had three children. They divorced several months before the murder, but Melda returned to live in her apartment a few days before the incident. On the night of October 10, an argument broke out, and in the early morning he stabbed her to death. After the act, he washed the knife and called the police. The victim was taken to Soroka Hospital in serious condition and was pronounced dead. The indictment attributes to Melda the offense of murder under aggravating circumstances due to the exceptional cruelty and systematic abuse.
