German police suspect Syrian student in murder of Israeli woman

German police said Thursday that a Syrian medical student was the main suspect in the murder of a 26-year-old Israeli in the university town of Goettingen.
The suspect, 24, fled the country shortly after the woman was suffocated on December 18 in her room at a student residence, police said. She was found dead in her room three days later, after friends noticed she was missing. Both were studying to become doctors.
The student's body has been returned to Israel.
A arrest warrant has been issued for the Syrian student, police said.
