A man has been charged with murdering his wife after she disturbed him watching tennis on television.
Prosecutors at a Tel Aviv court accused Moisei Beiniashvilli, 76, of using a hammer and wooden chopping board to attack Malka on January 31.
The defendant was watching the Australian Open tennis tournament when his wife disturbed him, at which point he took a chopping board and hit her over the head with it several times, the court heard.
Neighbours and those who allegedly heard Mrs Beiniashvilli’s screams through a nearby open window called the police and, it is claimed, pleaded with her husband to stop the attack.
