A 24-year-old Beit She'an resident was arrested on Thursday on suspicion of trying to poison his pregnant partner, 25.

Police suspect he tried to harm the fetus after hearing that the woman didn't intend to have an abortion.

The defendant, who is an exterminator, allegedly mixed pesticides in his partner's drink. Her suspicion was raised when she tasted the drink, and subsequently reported to Afula's Haemek hospital and notified the police.

The woman and the fetus were unaffected by the attempted poisoning.

The defendant's remand was extended at Nazareth Mageistrate's Court on Friday.
