According to the prosecutor's statement, Ben Ami will be indicted Wednesday in Lod District Court. His detention is extended until the indictment is filed, so the prosecutor's office will also apply to arrest him until the proceedings are over.

Ben Ami will be charged with a murder charge and two felony counts of attempted murder. He is expected to be sentenced to a prolonged prison sentence of decades. Ben Ami was not brought to the hearing because of the Corona epidemic and he was updated by phone.

The father who murdered his baby daughter admitted: "I was stabbed for argument"

The shocking incident happened Friday morning, so Ben-Ami attacked his wife and began to strangle her while carrying her baby daughter. After thinking she was dead, he took a knife, murdered his baby daughter and stabbed his 3-year-old daughter as well. When he noticed that his wife was moving, he also stabbed her. The woman managed to escape to the yard and began to scream. Her sister, who lives in the family complex, called the police. Ben Ami Matad admitted to the police that he had committed the act. His wife and daughter were evacuated in serious condition to the hospital and after a few days their condition stabilized.

The investigation shows that the motive for the madness is a prolonged conflict between Ben Ami and his wife. That morning, Ben-Ami got angry with his wife that the three-year-old's Purim costume wasn't invested enough. An argument broke out between the two, during which Ben-Ami began to attack his wife and then also hit the girls. In his interrogation he said: "I do not know what happened to me. I was in Amok, I saw black in the eyes."
