A Spanish journalist has been arrested in Israel in connection with the death of a remarkable pianist in Jerusalem.

Julio de la Guardia is suspected of hitting Haim Tukachinsky with his car and driving off.

Tukachinsky, 30, came from an ultra-orthodox family but left his yeshiva to study music at the Rubin Academy. His gifts were widely praised and he was preparing for a major recital when he was killed while crossing a road.

 

Haim was also gaining recognition as a composer.
