What did you think?

A plea for help on a police recording forms the center of a report on Yanina Rusinova's killing, alongside testimony about controlling behavior before her death.

Israel's i24NEWS Hebrew shows photographs of Rusinova and security footage of her returning home. The report says the defendant killed her that night and then called the police emergency line, repeatedly asking for help.

A police officer interviewed in the report describes the caller's behavior as an attempt to present himself as a victim. The officer also describes intense jealousy and accusations of infidelity.

A friend of Rusinova recalls her phone being taken away so her conversations could be checked behind a locked bathroom door. She also says she understood that Rusinova was being awakened during the night to check whether she was messaging anyone. The report describes an earlier assault in which Rusinova was struck in the forehead with a phone.

The broadcaster places her death among the 26 killings of women it says have occurred since the start of the year. It closes with her mother, Anna Rusinova, speaking in Russian about the loss: no one can bring her daughter back alive.
