Early yesterday morning (Shabbat), police received a report about a missing person who was last seen leaving his family home before all contact was lost.

After assessing the situation, the Kiryat Malachi police station suspected foul play and searched the family home, where evidence confirmed their suspicions. A family member of the missing person was arrested as the prime suspect.

After conducting advanced investigative work, the search focused on an open area in the northern part of the city.

Earlier today, a man's body showing signs of severe violence was discovered in an orchard in the north of the city. The body has been transferred for identification. The suspect, in his 30s, will appear in court today for a detention extension hearing.
