Horror in Tel Aviv: Woman Suspected of Drugging, Robbing, and Leaving Man Dead

Israeli police have uncovered chilling details in the death of a man in his 40s found lifeless earlier this month in a Tel Aviv apartment. Investigators now suspect that a woman in her 30s from Rehovot drugged him, stole his credit card, and embarked on a lavish shopping spree worth thousands of shekels.

The Case

On August 3, police were alerted after a man was discovered dead in an apartment on Levinsky Street in southern Tel Aviv. Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. Within hours, investigators launched a wide-scale probe that quickly led to the arrest of a female suspect and a second man, an Eritrean national in his 30s.

The Eritrean suspect was later released to house arrest, while evidence mounted against the woman, who is now considered the central figure in the case.

Shocking Findings

According to police, the woman allegedly drugged the victim until he lost consciousness. She then took his credit card and used it to purchase goods worth thousands of shekels, in addition to withdrawing large sums of cash.

Officers from the Tel Aviv fraud unit say they have gathered strong evidence linking her to charges of robbery, fraud, and manslaughter.

Next Steps

A formal prosecutor’s declaration was filed against the woman on Tuesday, paving the way for an indictment and a request to keep her in custody until the end of proceedings.

Tel Aviv District Police Commander, Major General Chaim Sargrof, visited the scene personally and assigned the investigation to the district’s fraud unit, underscoring the severity of the case.
