Tel Aviv woman, 18, admits murdering twin sister

The twin sister of the 18-year-old woman stabbed to death in Tel Aviv Thursday admitted to carrying out the murder together with her boyfriend.

The motive is not clear.

The investigation revealed that the woman sent a photo of her sister’s body to a friend through her cellphone and wrote that she had been stabbed. The sister’s boyfriend is reportedly the main suspect in the stabbing.

Police earlier described a “dramatic” twist in the investigation into the murder of an 18-year-old woman, whose body was found in an apartment building in Tel Aviv Thursday.

The young woman’s twin sister and the sister’s boyfriend were taken in for interrogation and admitted responsibility for the crime.

The young woman’s body was found in the hallway of the building in which she resides, on Simtat Neta street in the upscale Nahalat Yitzhak neighborhood.

Following an initial investigation of the scene of the crime, the police said she had been stabbed to death.and that the murder was likely criminal and not a terror attack. They initially stated that the young woman left her house to answer a phone call and was stabbed to death on her doorstep, and that the suspect fled the area.

However, evidence found at the scene of the murder cast suspicion on the sister and her boyfriend.

Neighbors had called the police emergency hot line and reported hearing people fighting and shouting at each other. The paramedics who arrived on the scene could do nothing to save the victim and pronounced her dead.
