Following an intensive investigation by the Judea and Samaria District Central Unit, a prosecutor's statement was filed Sunday against a 35-year-old resident of the village of Al-Ram, suspected of the gruesome murder of his Israeli partner. According to suspicions, the man killed his partner while she was in labor, set her body on fire, and later sold her car.

In April 2025, the Palestinian Authority reported the discovery of the charred body of a young Israeli woman in the village of Al-Ram. A newborn was still attached to her via the umbilical cord. As soon as the report was received, Judea and Samaria District Police Commander Maj. Gen. Moshe Finzi assigned the Central Unit to lead the investigation.

For several weeks, detectives conducted a complex investigation that involved advanced technological tools, covert operations, and the questioning and arrest of dozens of potential suspects. Eventually, the investigators located and arrested the main suspect - the infant's father.

According to the findings, the suspect not only carried out the brutal killing of his partner while she was in an especially vulnerable state, but also set her body on fire in an attempt to destroy evidence. In a move that underscores the severity of the crime, he later sold her vehicle and insisted on receiving full payment.

In the coming days, the Israeli State Attorney's Office is expected to file a severe indictment against the suspect, which will include a charge of aggravated murder.
