A man barricaded himself on the roof of a Bat Yam residential building on Monday after he allegedly stabbed his partner to death. He was threatening to jump off and kill himself.
The 51-year-old woman, a mother of two, was found dead inside an apartment and her partner, who was suspected of the murder, refused to surrender to police. A special police team was attempting to talk the suspect off the roof and end the incident, the police said.
