Police think man hit wife to reach jailed suspects in son's murder

By Eli Ashkenazi, Haaretz Correspondent

Kiryat Shmona police suspect that the father of a youth who was murdered two weeks ago purposely beat his wife in order to enter prison where he planned to find his son's alleged killers and avenge his murder.

Police arrested Kiryat Shmona resident Igor Diakov, 47, on Sunday in suspicion that he assaulted his wife after he came home drunk.

According to his wife, her husband did so in the hopes that he would reach the his son's suspected murderers while incarcerated.

After police discovered Diakov's plot, they put him in solitary confinement so he could not harm the suspects in his son's killing.

Diakov was indicted on Tuesday and police have asked to keep him in custody until his arraignment.

According to detectives, the father threatened to kill the murderer's of his son the day his body was found. However, police have also said that the couple had complained about family violence in the past.

18-year-old Yengeny Diakov was murdered two weeks ago in Kiryat Shmona, just 200 meters from the spot where the body of Anatoly Ziskin, 25, was found a few days before. Diakov's body was found in a pool used for koshering utensils in the yard of the mikveh ritual bath behind the Renanim School, a five-minute walk from his home.
