The detention of an Ashdod resident suspected of murdering his partner has been extended Israel today

The Ashkelon Magistrate's Court today (Tuesday) extended for six days the detention of Sergei Bityukov, 52, from Ashdod, who was arrested on suspicion of murdering his partner.

The motive for the murder has not yet been finally clarified, but the suspicion is that Bitiokov committed the act because he suspected that his partner was cheating on him.

According to his defense attorney, Advocate Alexei Gelfagt, who is representing the suspect on behalf of the Public Defender's Office, "This is a person who is dealing with alcohol addiction.

He cooperates fully with the researchers.

We are waiting for the police to complete the investigation. "

As we reported last night, the suspect's friend called the police and claimed that the suspect called him and told him that he had harmed his partner.

The friend gave the police the address of the woman's residence as well as the details of the suspect.

Police arrived at the apartment on Haganah Street together with MDA and called the fire department to break in the locked door.
