The suspect’s defense attorney, attorney Dimitri Berlstein, said at the hearing: “The suspect claims he came to her house, she opened the door for him and then for some unknown reason yelled at him, took a knife out of a drawer in the kitchen, tried to hurt him and as an act of self-defense he took the nearest thing to defend He didn’t know he didn’t survive. He thought she was injured, he saw her go up the stairs on her own.”
The suspect added: “I asked them to call an ambulance for her.” The investigation of the incident reveals that the divorced man arrived at the woman’s house, who celebrated her birthday today. No signs of a break-in were found in the apartment, so the investigators believe that she allowed him to enter. Another matter that came up in the discussion is the fact that the suspect has a criminal record for drug offenses. The police intend to perform a toxological test on the suspect at the hospital during the day.
The police charge Perry with the crime of premeditated murder. In the decision to extend his detention, Judge Adanko Sabahat Chaimovitz wrote that “there is reasonable suspicion against the suspect for committing the offense attributed to him, including his initial version that ties him to the incident.”

Rivka Neuman, director of the Division for the Advancement of the Status of Women at WICHO, responded to the horrific murder incident: “When the guns are roaring in Israel, the murderers do not remain silent, the State of Israel is capable of developing combat, developing protective measures to maintain the safety of its residents, but unfortunately not for the safety of women and children who are beaten and murdered in their homes. Another woman was murdered because the State of Israel does not develop a magic wand or iron dome for her to save her life. In the meantime, we will continue to count the number of murdered women.”
