Jerusalem court indicts 23-year-old Eritrean man accused of stabbing his
wife to death last month. A 23-year-old Eritrean man accused of stabbing his
wife to death in the capital痴 Bayit
Vegan<http://newstopics.jpost.com/topic/Bayit_VeGan>neighborhood last
month was indicted in the
Jerusalem <http://newstopics.jpost.com/topic/Jerusalem> District Court on
Wednesday.
The state requested that Alam Gevriyahu Tiamoh be held in detention for the
remainder of the legal proceedings because he posed a flight risk.
Tiamoh and his wife, Helen Tekla, also from Eritrea, had been in Israel for
a number of months after entering illegally sometime in 2010. The two lived
in the city痴 Mahaneh
Yehuda<http://newstopics.jpost.com/topic/Mahane_Yehuda_Market>area and
worked for a cleaning
*company*. They were married three months ago.
Two months after their marriage, following several incidents of domestic
violence, Tekla left her husband and went to live with relatives elsewhere
in the city.
She did not file a complaint with authorities.
On January 24, around 9 p.m., Tiamoh allegedly went to confront Tekla at a
bus stop on Rehov Frank in Bayit Vegan, *close* to where Tekla was employed
as a cleaner in a private home.
When a bus arrived at the stop and Tekla tried to get on, Tiamoh took out a
knife and stabbed her in the neck, stomach and right thigh.
Magen David Adom paramedics administered CPR before evacuating her to
Hadassah-University *Medical* Center, Ein Kerem, but she died during the
night.
Tiamoh fled the scene after throwing the knife into a courtyard. He was
apprehended by police four days later in Tel Aviv.
Jerusalem District police said this was the first incident of violent crime
within the foreign worker and migrant community in the capital.
