Israeli police have arrested the murderer of a family of six, a police spokesman told RIA Novosti on Tuesday.

TEL AVIV, November 3 (RIA Novosti) - Israeli police have arrested the murderer of a family of six, a police spokesman told RIA Novosti on Tuesday.

Thirty-eight-year-old Russian immigrant Dmitry Karlik has confessed to killing six members of the Usherenko family, including a three-month-old baby and his four-year-old sister, in Rishon LeZion on October 17.

Karlik (whose surname means 'dwarf' in Russian) hails from Russia's Urals city of Chelyabinsk.

The Usherenkos had moved from Tajikistan and had been running a restaurant. Karlik, a former employee in the family's business, was fired in 2007 over the theft of alcoholic drinks.

Karlik has already confessed to the murder. His wife and sister have also been taken into custody. The latter is suspected of having passed the key from the Usherenkos' house to her brother.

The investigation into the case, one of the most horrific murders in the history of modern Israel, has been under personal control of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Internal Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch.
