The Jerusalem Post reports of a couple apparently involved in an argument on the streets of Jerusalem leading to the death of a female after her husband attacked her while she tried to get on a bus.

The 20-year-old woman who was stabbed and killed Monday in Jerusalem was allegedly attacked by her husband, an Eritrean citizen, according to an initial police investigation on Tuesday.

The investigation indicated that the couple was waiting at a bus station while the incident happened.

The woman was stabbed in the neck, stomach and thigh. Magen David Adom evacuated her to Jerusalem’s Shaare Tzedek Hospital in critical condition, where she died early Tuesday morning.

The suspect was able to escape and police were still searching for him.

The two were Eritrean migrant workers who married three months ago.

The investigation revealed that the couple had recently separated, because the husband had allegedly beat his wife. No official complaint was filed with the police.
