JERUSALEM (AA) – Israeli police said Wednesday they had found the body of a Palestinian accused of killing an elderly woman.

Police said Musa Sarsour, 28, from the West Bank city of Qalqilya, was suspected of killing an 84-year-old woman in the city of Holon on Tuesday.

A police statement said Sarsour’s body was found in Tel Aviv after an overnight manhunt.

No reason was provided by the police for his death. Palestinian media, however, said Sarsour was found hanged in central Tel Aviv.
