4-year-old boy found dead in Tel Aviv By Roni Singer-Heruti A 4-year-old boy was found dead in a Tel Aviv apartment yesterday evening; police were called to the scene by the boy's mother, whom the police suspect smothered her son with a pillow. Around 10:30 P.M. police and rescue services arrived at the apartment on Hezkiyahu Street in south Tel Aviv's Shapira quarter. They found the child dead, apparently suffocated by his mother a few hours before she called the police. The mother was arrested and taken into custody. Advertisement The news marks the latest suspected murder of a child by family members in recent weeks. Last Friday, Olga Borisov was arrested on suspicion of drowning her 4-year-old son, Alon, off a Bat Yam beach. The Petah Tikva Magistrate's Court on Sunday banned Olga Borisov of Rishon Letzion from attending the funeral, citing fears that the boy's father might try to harm her. Police arrested Borisov, 42, late on Thursday at Bat Yam's Taio beach. She has been described as suffering from mental-health problems. Earlier last week a report was released on the missing 4-year-old girl Rose Pizem, whose grandfather, Ronny Ron, is suspected of murdering her and throwing her body in the Yarkon River in a suitcase. Ron is suspected of deliberately concealing the location of where he disposed of her body, say the police, for fear the corpse would disprove his claim that he killed the girl accidentally.
