The detention of six suspects in the murder of 19-year-old Benayahu Razi is extended by the Jerusalem District Court, Hebrew media reports.
The court is also considering a request by Linor Sasson, the mother of one of the suspects who is charged with helping the suspected murderers flee the scene, for him to be released to house arrest. But the court has yet to issue a decision in the matter.
According to reports, at the end of today’s hearing, Razi’s mother Dikla shouted at the mother of Shilat Houta, one of the suspects in Razi’s murder, “You brought a murderer into the world,” with Houta’s family members responding, “The truth will come out.”
Indictments were filed in August against 19-year-old Agam Tsarafi, 20-year-old Shilat Houta, and four minors for the murder of Razi in an Airbnb in Jerusalem’s Nachlaot neighborhood on July 11.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
