Last night, Yuri and his wife, Lena, were on their way back from an apartment they saw in Holon.
According to the testimony of Yuri's widow, a motorcyclist ran a red light and cut them off at a crosswalk.
She took out her phone and took a picture of him.
He followed her to the next crossing, stopped next to her and demanded that she delete the photo.
According to the two's daughter, Daria, the mother agreed and continued to move forward.
The rider didn't let go and said you'll show him that you copied.
At this point Yuri approached and tried to calm the situation.
"Go ahead, everything is fine," they told him.
In response, the rider stabbed him in the heart with a knife.
Yuri continued to walk a few more steps - and collapsed in front of his wife.
He was pronounced dead at Wolfson Hospital.
