The hairdresser’s girlfriend, a model, has also been shot to death. Police estimate: murder and suicide.
Model Anat Elimelech, aged 23 and her boyfriend, David Afuta, aged 32, a well-known Jerusalem hairdresser, were found dead this afternoon at their home in Jerusalem’s Givat Beit Hakerem neighbourhood.
Police and emergency medical teams that arrived to the scene found a pistol near Elimelech which had been licensed to Afuta.
Police suspect that this is a murder and suicide, but it is still unclear who shot whom.
Preliminary police investigation indicates the couple had quarreled recently and Elimelech had left the house she shared with Afuta.
David Afuta was considered an elite Jerusalem hairdresser. He became famous as the hairdresser of several important personages, including Benjamin and Sara Netanyahu.
Jerusalem police chief Yair Yitzhaki noted it is still unclear who was the shooter and suicide. He noted the shooting was committed with Afuta's gun, which was licensed.
