Firefighters called to extinguish an apartment fire in Jaffa on Saturday discovered the body of a man police believe to have been murdered.

Fire crews arrived at the apartment on Michaelangelo street Saturday to extinguish a fire that broke out in the apartment and found the man's body with signs that he had been stabbed.

Police suspect that the victim, whom they believe was homeless, broke into the apartment and was stabbed to death. The apartment was then set aflame.
