The Story Of Rose Pizem

Testimony in the murder trial of Ronnie Ron and Marie-Charlotte Pizem opened in Tel Aviv District Court, with witnesses for the prosecution taking the stand one after the other.


Ron and Pizem are charged with the murder of Pizem's daughter and Ron's granddaughter, four-year-old Rose Pizem, whose body was found in Tel Aviv's Yarkon River on September 11, 2008.

Prosecution witness Lior Maslawi, one of Ron's co-workers, told the court that Ron had always spoken proudly about Rose.

"I don't know what got into his head," he told the court.

During the investigation of Rose's death, Maslawi told police that Marie-Charlotte had called him for help, saying she told him, "If the police don't see a girl, [Ron] will go to jail for years."

"I asked her, 'Where's Rose?' She replied, 'It doesn't matter. Bring a girl from one of your neighbors. It doesn't matter who. Just bring someone.'"

Another witness who worked with Ron in the Tel Aviv Municipality said Ron once told him that "if you want to make something disappear, all you have to do is throw it into the Yarkon."

Later, a woman who had been Rose's nanny testified that she had once seen Rose with a large bruise on her face. She said she asked Ron what had happened and he told her the girl had fallen at the playground.

The nanny also said Ron had looked after his own two girls [whom he had with Marie-Charlotte Pizem] very nicely, but ignored Rose. "He was amazing with them," she said, "but he didn't give any special attention to Rose. Marie didn't look after any of them."

She also said that while Ron and Pizem's older daughter had a bedroom of her own, Rose slept with the baby. The baby had a bed, a changing table and toys, while Rose slept in something that looked like a sleeping bag and had no possessions.

After the hearing, Pizem's lawyer, Revital Swid, told reporters that none of the witnesses had linked her client to Rose's death.

In order to prove the murder charge, the prosecution will also have to show beyond a reasonable doubt that Ron intentionally killed Rose. He has admitted that he caused her death by striking her, but said he had not meant to kill her.

[themendezes]

@msLuvowlcity yes, she went to visit with her boyfriend's family and then fell in love with and married her father in law.

Any number of people in this world would have been thrilled to give this child a home with no questions asked, even me and I'm single with no children. May the punishment fit the crime. Peace, everyone.

What kind of mother leaves her child after falling in love??? What a beautiful girl <3

[paulamjj]

I don't get how a person could look into those beautiful eyes and be mean to her. She was a perfect being who needed love and care. I wish I could bring her back. I'd hold her forever.

[msLuvowlcity]

I don't understand, her mother married her fathers father?

[dodaTiffany]

Poor little thing... she didn't stand a chance in this world. All of the "adults" in her life treated her like a burden. Seeing all of these stories of children being abused and being killed... it's heartbreaking. No child should have to live a life like this. I just wish I could give her lots of hugs and kisses. RIP little one.

[tokionaruto]

what´s the name of this song?

[ThatRedNikon]

I dont understand how you can harm a child or any persons life. The first time i ever held a baby, i knew i had to be gentle, patiant and kind. A small child is something precious and you have to love and nuture it to help it grow strong and healthy. It breaks my heart to see all of these videos about abuse and neglect. Its wrong.. Pure wrong.

[denny143me]

she's pretty R.I.P and her name and my name is the same

[Lipush]

שה' יקלל אותך, מארי שרלוט, ואת רוני רון, שלא תזכו לראות אור יום! RIP Rose!
