Jinesh was found hanging inside a room of the house where he worked as a caregiver in Mevaseret Zion, near Jerusalem, five months ago. The 80-year-old owner of the house was found stabbed to death inside the premises.

When their relatives arrived, they found the woman stabbed to death and Jinesh hanging in his bedroom. It was not clear whether someone had harmed the two or whether Jinesh had taken his own life.
