Couple in their 40s found shot dead in car in suspected murder-suicide |
A man and woman in their 40s were found shot dead in their car in a field outside central Israel’s Mishmar Ayalon community on Friday, in what police suspect was a murder-suicide, first responders said.
Three people have been arrested near the scene of the shooting on suspicion of having taken the gun that was used, which was yet to be found, according to a police source cited by Haaretz.
The couple had informed relatives in the morning that they were going hiking, without specifying where, police said. The family later reported the couple missing after the two failed to answer multiple phone calls throughout the day.
Police then geo-located the couple’s phones, pinpointing their location to an open area outside the Mishmar Ayalon community in the Gezer Regional Council. Medics who arrived there pronounced the couple dead on the scene.
