A 36-year-old PA (Palestinian Authority) resident of Kalkilye was taken into custody on suspicion of taking part in the 1999 murder of Petach Tikvah resident Miriam Avraham HY”D in her home. The suspect taken into custody was remanded.

Avraham was found dead in her apartment, apparently choked to death. Family members at the time believed the death was the result of a dispute the victim had with a woman living in a nearby moshav.
